His cost of production is £80 and his profit is £20.
Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

5. Teaching Maths In 2008
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. )

In 2018 there's no way a truckload of wood is going for $100. I reckon wood will be pretty valuable (if there's any left) and the dollar pretty lacking in value (and there will be no shortage of those, the way they're being printed at the moment - in fact by then there should be 5 or six times as many dollars as exist today!)

:D
