So, we know that Jane starts the month with $600 in the account, and we know she makes a payment of $300. We're also told that there are no other transactions. So, that means the end-of-the-day balance for every single day in this month has to be either $600 or $300.
The problem is, we don't know how many $600 days there are and how many $300 days there are. We need to get information on when the $300 was deducted. Once we know that, we know exactly how many of each day there were, and thus, we can find the average for the whole month.
Statement (1) gives us the exact day on which we go from $600 days to $300 days, so we know exactly how many of each day there were. SUFFICIENT
Statement (2) says that the average through the 25th day was less than $600. That means the switch to $300 days has already taken place, which means that the remaining days in the month are all $300 days. Since we know the average of the first 25 days, and since we know the rest of the days are all $300 days, we can thus find the average of the whole month. SUFFICIENT
Make sense? Let me know if anything needs clarification!
