A store is comparing their profits throughout the year. They had profits of $1,500 in the first quarter of the year, $3,000 in the third quarter, and $2,000 in the fourth quarter. If their annual profits are $8,000, how much profit, in dollars, did they make in the second quarter?
In the three quarters we have figures for, the store made a total of $1500 + $3000 + $2000 = $

<output>6_500</output>
6,500.
Subtracting this from their annual profit shows that they made $8000 - $6500 = $

<output>1_500</output>
1,500 profit in the second quarter.
