Question

Theresa's Book Barn sold $10,347 worth of books during September. In October, their sales were $12,115. How much higher were Theresa's book sales during October than in September? Explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

1,768
I did 12,115-10,347 which equals 1,768

Answer 2

$1,768

Explanation:

We know that Theresa's Book Barn sold $10347 worth of books in September, and $12,115 in October. Since we want to know how much higher the sales were in October than in September, we would have to subtract.

So, we would have to subtract the two numbers.

12,115
- 10,347
1768

Subtracting the two numbers gives us $1,768, which is the difference.
