Right!
No worries, I'm here to help you out! Let's break down the problem step by step.
A. To find the manager's profit after January and February, we need to add the profit of each month.
1. The manager lost $415 in January, which means his profit is -$415.
2. In February, the manager made a profit of $1580.
3. To find the total profit after January and February, we need to add these two amounts together:
Total profit = January profit + February profit
Total profit = (-$415) + $1580
Total profit = $1165
So, the manager's profit after January and February is $1165.
B. Now, let's calculate the manager's profit after January, February, and March, assuming the restaurant lost $245 in business during March.
1. The profit after January and February is $1165 (as calculated in A).
2. In March, the restaurant lost $245, which means the profit is -$245.
3. To find the total profit after January, February, and March, we need to add the profit of each month:
Total profit = January and February profit + March profit
Total profit = $1165 + (-$245)
Total profit = $920
Therefore, the manager's profit after January, February, and March is $920.
