Lizzy: A few friends are making a small movie. They hire a few actors and that cost $1200. They also get food for the 50 people there. Each person gets $3 worth of food. Equipment rental costs twice as much as food and actors combined. They sold the movie for $10,000. How much profit did they make?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
The food cost 3 * 50 = $150. So the total cost without equipment rental was 1200 + 150 = $1350. So equipment rental cost 1350 * 2 = $2700. So the total cost was 2700 + 1350 = $4050. That means they made 10000 - 4050 = $5950. Final answer: 5950.
