[b]3. Teaching Maths In 1990[/b]

His cost of production is £80.
Did he make a profit?

[b]4. Teaching Maths In 2000[/b]

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

[b]5. Teaching Maths In 2017[/b]

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands.

He does this so he can make a profit of £20.
What do you think of this way of making a living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers. )

@dunpender Well, how about that? You've stooped to accusing me of doubtful intellect. That is typically the ploy of the intellectually inept.

The English in the questions seems to be very American. A lumberjack and a lorry would be more British. Failed at base one it seems. But that's a US metaphor, of course.
