Question: John sublets his apartment to 3 people who each pay $400 per month.  He rents the apartment for $900 a month.  How much profit does he make in a year? Is final answer 3600?
Answer: He gets 3*$400=$<<3*400=1200>>1200 per month
So he gets 1200*12=$<<1200*12=14400>>14,400 per year
So he pays 12*900=$<<12*900=10800>>10800 a year
That means his profit is 14400-10800=$<<14400-10800=3600>>3600 per year
#### 3600
