Question: Jame's buys 100 head of cattle for $40,000. It cost 20% more than that to feed them. They each weigh 1000 pounds and sell for $2 per pound. How much profit did he make?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: It cost .2 * 40000 = $8000 more to feed than buy them. So the total cost to feed them was 40000 + 8000 = $48,000. So in total it cost 48000 + 40000 = $88,000. Each cow sells for 2 * 1000 = $2000. So he sells them for 2000 * 100 = $200,000. So he makes a profit of 200,000 - 88,000 = $112,000.
So the answer is 112000.


Question: Ben has $2000 for his business operations costs. He orders goods from his supplier and writes them a cheque for $600. His debtor pays him $800 from the purchases they had made on credit. Mr. Ben then decides to do equipment maintenance and spends $1200 on the whole operation. How much money is Mr. Ben remaining with?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: When Mr. Ben writes the cheque, he remains with $2000 - $600 = $1400. His debtor pays him $800, increasing his operation capital to $1400 + $800 = $2200. He spends $1200, remaining $2200 - $1200 = $1000 for business operations cost after maintenance.
So the answer is 1000.
