In one month a store had $1,222 in sales but expenses were $2,345. how much money did the store lose in that month?

$1123

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to calculate profit (or in this case, loss) the formula "Sales - Expenses" can be used.

This is essence says, how much money did we make? Now, we subtract the amount of money we used for expenses.

Sales - Expenses = Profit

$1222 - $2345 = -$1123

(The reason there is a negative sign, is because in this case we got a negative profit, which is a loss)

The question asks how much was lost, so in this case, the answer is:

$1123 was lost

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
