Question

In its first year a manufacturer had a financial loss of 3,000 in its second year the manufacturer had a financial loss of 500 How much greater in dollars was the financial loss in the first year than the financial loss in the second year

Answer 1

`D = \$2500`

Explanation:

Given

Represent the financial los s in the first year as F1 and the second year as F2

`F_1 = \$3000`

`F_2 = \$500`

Required

How much is greater is F1 than F2

What this question implies is that; the difference between both finan cial losses be calculated;

Represent the difference with D

`D = F_2 - F_1`

Substitute values for F1 than F2

`D = \$3000 - \$500`

`D = \$2500`

Hence, the calculated difference is $2500
