Respuesta :

Answer:

The difference of the profit of two companies is $ 417

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The company A loss amount in January = $ 255

The company B profit amount in January = $ 162

Let the difference between there profits = x

So, x = company B profit - ( company A profit)

I.e x = company B profit - ( - company A loss)

Or, x = $ 255 + $162

∴   x = $ 417

Hence The difference of the profit of two companies is $ 417  . Answer
