For the first half of the year the monthly income of Elias' business were the following: 12,000;(-3,000); (-5000); 4,500; (-500); 15,000. What was his total profit or loss for the year & what was his average income per month?

    Profit: 12000 + 4500 + 15000 = 31500

    Loss: 3000 + 5000 + 500 = 8500

    Therefore total profit = 23000

    Average monthly income is 23000 / 6 = $3833.33
