Question

last year a business had profits of $8000 this year it will have 5 times as great what are this yours profits

Answer 1

We have been given that last year, the business had profit of $8000.

Further, we are given that, the profit for this year will be 5 times as great the profit of last year. So, in order to find profit of current year, we will have to consider 5 times of $8000.

Therefore, we get the profit for current year as:

$\text{Profit for current year}=5\cdot8000\\\text{Profit for current year}=\ 40,000$

Therefore, profit for current year would be 40,000 dollars.
