Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is choice b - $1,965.

Explanation: The formula for gross profit is sales minus the cost of goods sold. In this case Korey has sales of $3,250, and the cost of these items was $1,285. In order to calculate the monthly gross profit you need to subtract the cost of the goods sold from the sales. $3,250 - $1,285 = $1,965.
