A. $11,230
B. $1,123
C. $123
D. $3, 567

Answer 1

2345 - 1222 = 1123...answer is B

Answer 2

B. $ 1,123

Explanation:

Given,

The total sales of store in the month = $ 1,222,

Its expenses = $ 2,345,

Since, expense > total sale,

That is, store had a loss,

And, the amount of money store lost in the month = its expenses - its total sales

= $ 2,345 - $ 1,222

= $ 1,123

Hence, option 'B' is correct.
