Answer 1

Russ made money because the price he sold the car for is greater than the price he paid for it.

Explanation:

The price Russ paid for the car was $5,893 and the price he sold it for was $5,993. Since $5,993 is greater than $5,893, Russ made a profit. The statement about the hundreds digit in the prices is not relevant to whether Russ made or lost money on the transaction.

Answer 2

Russ made money because the hundreds digit in the price he paid is less than the hundreds digit in the price he sold for.

Explanation:

Russ made money because the hundreds digit in the price he paid is less than the hundreds digit in the price he sold for.

The paid price hundreds digit is 8. All other digits are the same.

The sold price hundreds digit is 9.

He made 100 because he bought it for 5893 and sold it for 5993.
