Question

A soccer team is having a car wash. The team spent $55 on supplies. They earned $275, including tips. The team’s profit is the amount the team made after paying for supplies. Write a sum of integers that represents the team’s profit.

Answer 1

Answer:
$275-$55=220

Step-by-step explanation:
If the soccer team spent $55 with their own money then they would be losing money. Since the soccer team made $275 you have to subtract the money the soccer team spent, and that will get you $220

Answer 2

-55 + 275

Step-by-step explanation:

You add the total earned to the expenses. The expenses are a negative integer.

-55 + 275
