In one month a store had $1,222 in sales but expenses were $2,345. how much money did the store lose in that month?

2345 - 1222 = 1123. So they would have lost $1123 that month. I hoped I helped!

If they had to spend $2,345 on expenses but made back $1,222 then you subtract sales from expenses which gives you $1,123 in losses. 

Are you trying to figure out the volume?

The answer would be 27 because assuming that each package has 1 bar of soap and 1 tube of toothpaste, after 27 packages they would run out of toothpaste
