Question

Four friends own a car wash. The total profit in the first month was $438. In two months, each of the friends had made a profit of $184. They always divide the profits equally. How much profit did the car wash make in the second month?

Answer 1

Answer:$ 298

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Profit in first month is $ 438

It is also given that in two months they each had a profit $ 184

Total Profit in 2 months $=184\times 4= 736$

so in second month Profit =736-438=$ 298

A total of   $ 298 profit is earned in second month.

Answer 2

Answer:

$298

Step-by-step explanation:

So in order to solve this we first have to calculate how much have they done in total in these two months, and we do that by multiplying 184 by 4:

184*4=736

Now from the total we will withdraw the amount of money that they did in the first month:

736-438=298

So now we know that they made 298 dollars in the second month.
