Answer 1

His overall net profit would be $500 dollars because every two weeks he makes $500 so over 4 weeks he would make $1000, but lose $500 to rent.

Answer 2

Answer:

$500 net profit in 4 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

+$50 a day, 5 days a week, -$500 every 4 weeks

1. solve for initial profit in 4 weeks

5 profitable day*4 weeks= 20 days Tom makes a profit

20 days*$50= $1000 in 20 days

1000-500= $500
