God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.

Answer 2

The greater profit is `$8700340->"Coyle Company"`

Explanation:

`$color(blue)(8)color(magenta)(0)46890 ->" Cramer Company"`
`$color(blue)(8)color(magenta)(7)00340 ->"Coyle Company"`

When looking at a number that has more than 1 digit the greatest value is the left most non zero one.

So the left most `color(blue)(8)` is the same for both numbers.
Now look at the number `color(magenta)("immediately to the right")`

We have `color(blue)(8)color(magenta)(0) and color(blue)(8)color(magenta)(7)`

The 7 is greater than the 0

So the greater profit is `color(green)($8700340->"Coyle Company")`
