Answer:
$360
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of people = You + 3 friends = 4
Let the profit made in the second month be represented by variable X
Total profit (for first month and second month) = 536 + X
Each person's share= $224
(Total profit ) /4 = each person's share;
= [tex]\frac{(536 +X)}{4} =224[/tex]
Multiply each side by 4 ;
= 536+X =224*4
=536+ X = 896
Subtract 536 from both sides to solve for X;
X = 896 - 536
X = 360
Therefore, the shop made a profit of $360 in the second month
