Balance (money)
 
Are all my attempts below correct?

I want to pay the balance, which is 60 euro:
• Quiero pagar el resto del dinero, que son cien euros.
• Quiero pagar el saldo, que son cien euros.
• Quiero pagar lo que queda, que son cien euros.

Many thanks.

Aside from the typo cien :ne: 60 :).

I think all your options would be understood, but to me they don't necessarily sound all that natural.

I'd say:

* Quiero saldar la cuenta.
* Quero pagar lo que falta.

I think you can use "balance" as well, but I think only when you're talking about the total amount, not the difference or what is left to pay. But I could be wrong on that.

Also, "quiero pagar los cien euros que faltan/quedan/restan", "quiero pagar el saldo pendiente", "quiero pagar lo que queda pendiente"... :)
