This week Sage spent. 30 for hot dogs and supplies. he earned 18. did he make money are lose money this week?

I am assuming 18 is the gross intake rather than profit.

18 - 30 = ?

-12?

He lost money because,the hot dogs and supplies cost $12.

So basically,the answer would be $-30-$-18=$-12.

To determine whether Sage made money or lost money this week, we need to compare his spending with his earnings.

Sage spent $30 on hot dogs and supplies. This is his expenses for the week.

Sage earned $18. This is his earnings for the week.

To find out if he made money or lost money, we need to subtract his expenses from his earnings.

Earnings - Expenses = Net Profit/Loss

$18 - $30 = -$12

The result is -$12. A negative value indicates a loss.

Therefore, Sage lost $12 this week.
