    debit to cash for $155

    Explanation:

    The petty cash fund is a cash fund set aside by the company for the day to day running of a company without writing a check. in a bid to reduce the petty cash fund of a company from $330 to $140 the company would have debit the required petty cash of $140 from the available petty cash fund of $295

    $295 - $140 = $155 (debit to available cash)

    In calculation or entry of petty cash funds, checks and receipts are not entered only cash debits or credits are considered in petty cash funds.
