(a). what was the manager's profit after january and february??
(b) what if...? the restaurant lost $245 in business during the month of march. what was the manager's profit after january, feb., and march?
A) 1580_ 415= 1165
B) -415 + -245= -660
1580_ 660= 920
Ans) 920
A. 1580 - 415 = ?
B. 1580 - 415 - 245 = ?
(a) To find the manager's profit after January and February, we need to add the profit from each month.
Profit in January = -$415
Profit in February = $1580
To find the total profit, we add these two profits:
Total profit = Profit in January + Profit in February
Total profit = -$415 + $1580
Calculating the total profit, we get:
Total profit = $1165
Therefore, the manager's profit after January and February is $1165.
(b) If the restaurant lost $245 in business during the month of March, we need to subtract this loss from the total profit after January and February.
Total profit after January and February = $1165
Loss in March = -$245
To find the new total profit, we subtract the loss in March from the previous total:
New total profit = Total profit after January and February - Loss in March
New total profit = $1165 - $245
Calculating the new total profit, we get:
New total profit = $920
Therefore, the manager's profit after January, February, and March is $920.
To find the manager's profit after January and February, we need to add January's loss and February's profit.
(a) Profit after January and February:
Profit in January: -$415 (negative because it was a loss)
Profit in February: $1580
To find the total profit, we add the two values together:
Total profit = Profit in January + Profit in February
Total profit = -$415 + $1580
Total profit = $1165
Therefore, the manager's profit after January and February is $1165.
(b) If the restaurant lost $245 in business during March, we need to add that loss to the total profit after January and February.
Profit after January, February, and March:
Profit after January and February: $1165
Loss in March: -$245
To find the total profit, we add the two values together:
Total profit = Profit after January and February + Loss in March
Total profit = $1165 - $245
Total profit = $920
Therefore, the manager's profit after January, February, and March is $920.
