Explanation:

Chen owns a record shop. Last year he sold $97,215 worth of merchandise. His costs were $73,110. we are asked to determine how much profit did he make?

Profit = current sale - previous year sales

current sale = $73,110

previous year sales =$97,215

as previous year sales is greater than current sales, there is a loss

Loss = previous year sales - current sale

Loss =$97,215 -$73,110

=$24,105
