Answer:
After the two weekends she made $997
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- The profit is the difference between the selling price and the
cost price
- On the weekends, Ms. James had a booth where she sold books
- First weekend she made a profit of $1275
- Next weekend, when she subtracted the costs of the booth,
Ms.James lost $278
- That means the cost price is greater than the selling price
- To know how much she made in the two week end you must
subtract the money she lost from her profit
∵ Ms. James made a profit $1275 in the first weekend
∵ She lost $278 in the second weekend
- After the two weekend she made the difference between the
two weekends
∴ She made = 1275 - 278 = 997
∴ After the two weekends she made $997
