A marketing company had a profit of 5625.14 in January a loss of 4250.35. In February and a profit of 1475.55 in March did the company make a profit during the three-month month period if so what was the profit

Answer 1

jan. profit.....    5625.14
feb..loss...     - 4250.35
march..profit...1475.55

add the profits and subtract the losses...if the result is positive, then the company made a profit....if the result is negative, then the company had a loss.

(5625.14 + 1475.55) - 4250.35 = 7100.69 - 4250.35 = 2850.34.....as u can see, the result ended in a positive number....so, in the 3 month period, the company made a profit of $ 2850.34 <==
