Question

In its first two months, a small business had profits of -$402 and -$390. If

the total profit for the first five months was -$1038, what was the average
profit for months 3-5? Show your work.

Answer 1

-$82

Explanation:

-402 + -390 = -792

-1038 - -792 = -246

Since you are trying to find it for the remaining 3 months you divide by 3.

-246/3 = -$82
