Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Alton owns a business. He is currently renting a space that costs $20 per week. If Alton earns $8 per day, how much is his total profit every week?
Alton earns $8 x 7 = $56 per week. Therefore, his weekly profit after paying the rent is $56 - $20 = $36.
The final answer: 36.
