seems as if I'd just be finding the range of these numbers, but I'm not certain. What do you think, @iGreen ?

i would subtract

the " difference " implies that it is a subtraction problem.

Her monthly expenses are 889 per month, which equals (889 x 12) = 10668
Her yearly revenue is 31068
Now find the difference by subtracting

I got the 10668 by multiplying by 12 (because there is 12 months in a year)...so that is her yearly expenses
