Profit (P) is calculated by subtracting the total cost (C) from the total revenue (R). The calculations are shown below,
R = (1440 dozens) x (12 pieces / 1 dozen) x (25 cents/ piece) = $4320
C = (1440 dozens) x ($2.50 / dozen) = $3600
Profit = R - C = $4320 - $3600 = $720
Thus, the businessman's profit is $720.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of sales each man had.
For Salesman A, he earns $65 per sale; this is 65x.
For Salesman B, he earns $40 per sale; this is 40x. We also add to this his weekly salary of $300; this gives us 40x+300.
Since their pay was equal, set the two expressions equal:
65x = 40x+300
Subtract 40x from each side:
65x-40x = 40x+300-40x
25x = 300
Divide both sides by 25:
25x/25 = 300/25
x = 12
1 ton= 2,000 ponds. Thus 200,000,000,000 divided by 2,000 is 100,000,000
