In order to find the difference in profit, you must subtract 4,700 from 6,400. You know this, because a "difference" is a solution to a problem dealing with subtraction.
That would look like this: 6,400 - 4,700 .

To find the difference in profit between the two months, we can subtract the loss from the profit of the first month. The correct expression is option D: 6,400 - 4,700.
