Four friends own a car wash. The total profit in the first month was $438. In two months, each of the friends had made a profit of $184. They always divide the profits equally. How much profit did the car wash make in the second month?

WickedHeart:

There are 4 friends, each of whom splits the profit equally. Since they each had a total of $184 at the end of the second month, that means the car wash had made

WickedHeart:

184(4) = 736 by the end of the second month. Now we subtract the amount of profit in the first month: 736 - 438 = ?

Chinky:
