Question

At Daisy's Deli, Daisy tracks the monthly profit to determine the success of her business. A negative profit means that Daisy has debt. In July, her profit was -$40. In August, Daisy's profit was -$110. In September, her profit was $60, and in October Daisy's profit was one-third of September's profit. What is the total profit of Daisy's Deli at the end of October?

Answer 1

The answer is $20. You can erase the zeros and just ask yourself "What is 1/3 of 6?" Solve that then add on the zeros to make 20. I hope it helped.
