Lisa owns a small business. There was a loss of $14 on Monday and a profit of $18 on Tuesday. On Wednesday there was a loss of $6 and on Thursday there was a profit of $7. Find the total profit or loss. * 3 points $15 profit $45 loss $5 profit $10 profit
To find the total profit or loss, we add up the profits and subtract the losses.
Loss on Monday: -$14
Profit on Tuesday: +$18
Loss on Wednesday: -$6
Profit on Thursday: +$7
Total profit or loss = (-$14) + (+$18) + (-$6) + (+$7)
= -$14 + $18 - $6 + $7
= $1
So, the total profit or loss is $1.
Those aren’t the answers
Apologies for the confusion. Let's recalculate the answer.
Loss on Monday: -$14
Profit on Tuesday: +$18
Loss on Wednesday: -$6
Profit on Thursday: +$7
Total profit or loss = (-$14) + (+$18) + (-$6) + (+$7)
= -$14 + $18 - $6 + $7
= $5
So, the total profit or loss is $5.
