<output>3/2 = around 1.5</output>

<gadget id="calculator">2 - (3/2)</gadget>
<output>1/2 = around 0.5</output>

<gadget id="calculator">2_000 * (1/2)</gadget>
<output>1_000</output>

<result>B</result>
coconuts were purchased at 150 per 100 and sold at 2 per coconut. if 2000 coconuts were sold, what was the total profit made?
multiply(2000, subtract(2, divide(150, 100)))
c . p . for one coconut = 150 ⁄ 100 = 3 ⁄ 2 s . p . for one coconut = 2 profit on one coconut = 2 - 3 ⁄ 2 = 1 ⁄ 2 ∴ profit on 2000 coconut = 1 ⁄ 2 × 2000 = 1000 answer b
