1965: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the sales price. What is his profit?

1975: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the sales price, or $80. What is his profit?

1985: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

1995: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

2010: By cutting down beautiful trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of his way of making a living? Topic for class discussion: How did the birds & squirrels of the forest feel as the logger cut down their homes? Note: There are no wrong answers!

2020: El hachero vende un camion carga por $100. La cuesta de production es $80...
