Jaxon's start-up business makes a profit of $500 during the first month. However, the company records a profit of -$50 per month for the next eight months and a profit of $175 for the final month. What is the total profit for the first ten months of Jaxon's business?

275$

Step-by-step explanation:

500

-50 x 8 = -400

500 - (-400) = 100

100 + 175 = 275$

Explanation:

The first month has a profit of +500 or simply 500.

The next 8 months have a profit of -50 per month, so we have -50*8 = -400 in profit here. A negative profit indicates debt. So far, the profit is 500 + (-400) = 500 - 400 = 100 dollars. This result is positive, so the company is in good shape so far.

It gets in better shape when adding on the final 175 profit from the tenth month. The final profit is 100+175 = 275 dollars
