Just add all the losses and gains and then divide by the amount of months

OpenStudy (lcnettech):

ok

OpenStudy (lcnettech):

so the answer would be 18 right?

OpenStudy (lcnettech):

also thanks for explaining how to do the question :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok did you get -18 or +18?

OpenStudy (lcnettech):

+18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it was a profit of 18 a month

OpenStudy (lcnettech):

thanks. :)

OpenStudy (lcnettech):

also thank you so so so much for explaining the how to get the answer . most people on here just give out direct answer's and i dont know how to do the work so thank you so much . :) :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok actually i just did the math and i got -18

OpenStudy (lcnettech):

oh i must of miss calculated on my paper .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{–120+85-60-35+40}{5}=\frac{-90}{5}=-18\] So since it is -18 there is an average loss of 18 a month

OpenStudy (anonymous):
