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)
$3
-16 - 9 - 5 + 27 = .....
You got 36 from that???
Oh my!
It D
I got -3
Its -3 :)
-3 is not an option. It's either 27$, 57$, 36$ or 3$
I think it's 3$ which is D on mine.
since you got "-3" its $3 loss
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.
