Step 1

Find the profit in two months

Multiply the total amount made by the whole group in two months ([tex]\$224[/tex]) by the total number of persons ([tex]4[/tex])

[tex]4*\$224=\$896[/tex]

Step 2

Find the profit of the shop in the second month

we know that

[tex]Total\ profit\ in\ two\ months=Profit\ first\ month\ +\ Profit\ second\ month[/tex]

so

[tex]Profit\ second\ month=Total\ profit\ in\ two\ months-Profit\ first\ month[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]Profit\ second\ month=\$896-\$536=\$360[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]\$360[/tex]
