A grocery store sells 500.00 in a baked goods 3000.00 groceries 1500.00 dairy products 1000.00 produce and 2500.00 meats by how many dollars do the sales meat departmen?

To determine by how many dollars the sales in the meat department exceed the sales in the baked goods department, we need to calculate the difference between their respective sales amounts.

Sales in the meat department = $2500.00

Sales in the baked goods department = $500.00

Difference = Sales in the meat department - Sales in the baked goods department

= $2500.00 - $500.00

= $2000.00

Therefore, the sales in the meat department exceed the sales in the baked goods department by $2000.00.
