Answer 1

48 19
44 21. this is what it should look like

Answer 2

Answer: The matrix would be

`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}48&19\\\\44&21\end{array}\right]`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of Styrofoam balls bought by Bradley in May = 48

Number of figurines sold by Bradley in June = 19

Number of Styrofoam balls bought by Lupe in May = 44

Number of figurines sold by Lupe in June = 21

So, it will be written as

Purchases Sales

May 48 19

June 44 21

So, the matrix would be

`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}48&19\\\\44&21\end{array}\right]`
