32. Find the difference in cookie sales from Friday to Saturday expressed as a matrix.


Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

The sum of the two days’ sales expressed as a matrix is 

81081−4−6−3−10−16−14−14−12.

1Step 1 - Define concept of matrix subtraction

If A and B are two matrices of order m×n, then the subtraction of the two matrices will also yield a matrix of order m×n wherein each element is the difference of the corresponding elements.

2Step 2 - Subtract corresponding elements

The data in the table is organized in two matrices A and B. Subtract corresponding elements of both the matrices so as to find the difference in cookie sales of two day’s sales.


A−B=1209764758059366072842948−1128756748465397088984360=120−11297−8764−5675−7480−8459−6536−3960−7072−8884−9829−4348−60

3Step 3 - Simplify the matrix

Further simplify the matrix.


A−B=120−11297−8764−5675−7480−8459−6536−3960−7072−8884−9829−4348−60=81081−4−6−3−10−16−14−14−12
