Hello! I can help you with this! So, you and 3 friends are 4 people. You split $536. To find the amount each of you got, Do division. 536/4 is 134. Each friend got $134 in the first month. You made 224 in 2 months. Let’s subtract to see how much more each of them got. 224 - 134 is 90. Now, multiply by 4 to find out how much profit was made. 90 * 4 is 360. The shop made $360 in the second month.
