Jerry owns an ice cream parlor. His starting balance last month was $1,900. His ending balance was $2,200. What is Jerry's burn rate?

$4,100
$300
-$300
-$4,100

Answer 1

Burn rate = starting balance − ending balance = $1,900 − $2,200 = −$300.

So the correct answer is −$300 (a negative burn — Jerry gained $300).
