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.
A. $27 profit
B. $57 profit
C. $36 loss
D. $3 loss
The total loss from Thursday to Sunday is $16 + $9 + $5 = $30. However, since there was a profit of $27 on Sunday, the net loss for the 4 days is $30 - $27 = $3 loss.
Therefore, the answer is D. $3 loss.
