Answer 1

Answer: $220

Explanation:

1. A soccer team earned $275 (if they earned then the addend $275 is with sign "+").

2. The team spent $55 on supplies (if they spent, then the addend $55 is with sign "-").

3. The team's profit is the amount the team made after paying for supplies.

Then, the team's profit is

$275-$55=$220.
