Answer:

Deduct from the Balance per Books.

Explanation:

The company has written a check of $228 instead of $282. It means that the Cash Account is overstated by $54, so it must be deducted from the Cash Balance per books to reconcile the Cash Ledger.

There is no need to reconcile the Bank Account since the company has written a check for correct amount but recorded it incorrectly. Such Accounting error is known as Transposition Error.
