Sam owns a small business there was a loss of $16 on Thursday and a loss of $ 9 on Friday on Saturday there was a loss of $5 and on Sunday there was a profit of $27 find the total profit or loss for the 4 days.
$27
$57
$36 (My answer)
$3
I got -3
It D
Its -3 :)
since you got "-3" its $3 loss
-16 - 9 - 5 + 27 = .....
You got 36 from that???
Oh my!
To find the total profit or loss for the four days, you need to add up all the losses and profits from each day.
Loss on Thursday: - $16
Loss on Friday: - $9
Loss on Saturday: - $5
Profit on Sunday: + $27
Now, let's do the calculations:
Total loss = - $16 + (- $9) + (- $5) = - $30
Total profit = $27
To find the total profit or loss, you subtract the total losses from the total profits:
Total profit or loss = Total profit - Total loss
Total profit or loss = $27 - (- $30)
Total profit or loss = $27 + $30
Total profit or loss = $57
Therefore, the correct answer is $57.
-3 is not an option. It's either 27$, 57$, 36$ or 3$
I think it's 3$ which is D on mine.
