This is a very simple problem. So you know how much the business started the year at. -4,948$. You also know how much they ended at after 6 months, which is $15,941. So the question is asking for the average monthly increase. To do this you need to find the difference between the start and end of the 6-month term then divide by 6 for the monthly increase
