First of all, this is a poorly worded question and clearly not an official GMAT question. I understand why you want help with it.
Second, your name is "beater", which is hilarious so I am some-what amused.
The difference between both actions of each transaction is +2.
Gain 5, lose 3.... 5 - 3 = 2
If gain 14 comps in a month, then you've had 7 transactions (14/2 = 7)
