How much money did the salesman make at the department store? ** At the department store he made 31 × $25 = $<<31*25=775>>775 throughout the week.
How much money did the salesman make in total? ** In total he made $340 + $775 = $<<340+775=1115>>1115.
How much money was the salesman's profit? ** The profit made by the salesman was $1115 - $576 = $<<1115-576=539>>539.
