Question

Jaxon's start up business makes a profit of $450 during the first month. however the company records a profit of -$60 per month and profit of $125 for the final month. what is the total profit for the six month of Jaxon's business.

Answer 1

The total profit for the six month of Jaxon's business is $335.

Explanation:

Here, the profit in the business for the first month = $450

Now, the company suffers for loss of $ 60 per month for 4 months.

SO, the total loss in 4 months = 4 x ( loss in 1 month)

= 4 x ( $ 60) = $240

So, the combined loss in next four months = $ 240

Lastly, the profit in the final sixth month of business = $ 125

So, combined PROFIT in the business = Profit in( First + Sixth) Month

= $ 450+ $ 125 = $575

Total loss in the six months = $ 240

Now, total profit for the six month of Jaxon's business

= Total Profit - Total Loss

= $575 - $ 240 = $335

Hence, the total profit for the six month of Jaxon's business is $335.
