Answer:

below look down

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how far below or above the quota the Jiffy Print Shop was during the first two weeks of last month, we need to sum up the daily comparisons to the quota.

Given:

plus​$99

minus​$38

minus​$50

plus​$97

minus​$20

plus​$76

minus​$31

plus​$82

minus​$58

plus​$35

Let's calculate the total by adding these amounts:

99

38

50

+

97

20

+

76

31

+

82

58

+

35

99−38−50+97−20+76−31+82−58+35

Performing the calculations step by step:

99

38

=

61

99−38=61

61

50

=

11

61−50=11

11

+

97

=

108

11+97=108

108

20

=

88

108−20=88

88

+

76

=

164

88+76=164

164

31

=

133

164−31=133

133

+

82

=

215

133+82=215

215

58

=

157

215−58=157

157

+

35

=

192

157+35=192

Therefore, the total amount above or below the quota over the two-week period is

192

192

 dollars.

To clarify, this total of

192

192

 dollars indicates that the Jiffy Print Shop exceeded their daily work quota by $192 over the first two weeks of last month.
