The cheerleaders held a car wash to raise money for new uniforms They spent $12 on soap and $19 on sponges, rags, and a bucket. It rained the day of the carwash do the cheerleaders just made $25 Write an integer expression that shows their profit or loss Simplify the expression and explain what the amount means

The integer expression $6 shows their loss. This represents that they spent $6 more than the amount they actually earned.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount spent on soap = $12

The spent on sponges and rags = $19

So, the total amount spent by cheerleader

= Amount spent on (Soap + Buckets / Sponges) = $12 + $19 = $31

So, they total spent is $31 before car washing.

Now, the amount they earned from car washing = $25

Here, as we can say:

$31 > $25

⇒ The amount spent is more than the amount earned.

So, there is loss in the given activity.

Loss = Amount spent - Amount earned

= $31 - $25 = $6

So, the integer expression $6 shows their loss.

This represents that they spent $6 more than the amount they actually earned.
