One for you Math Students... lets see how many get it

Teaching math in the 1950's:

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.00. His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching math in the 1960's:

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.00. His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price, or $80.00. What is his profit?

Teaching math in the 1970's:

A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M". The set "C", the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than the set "M". Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question:
What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?

Teaching math in the 1980's:

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.00. His cost of
production is $80.00 and his profit is $20.00. Your assignment:
underline the number 20.

Teaching math in the 1990's:

By cutting down beautiful forest trees, a logger makes $20.00. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.

Teaching math in 2002:

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.00. His cost of
production is $120.00. How does Arthur Anderson determine that his profit margin is $60.00?

Teaching math in 2010:

El hachero vende un camion carga por $100.00. El costo de
production........................

Math 2004:

the Chinese send 100 men into the woods to cut downs trees. 80 of the men die due to accidents. how many of the 20 remaining men are shot dead due to under productivity.

[versello]

haha, the last one is so true... i'd even go so far as to say that's how it is today! Here in Maryland, hispanics are everywhere!

[LiLbRo]

LOL, an impossible math question with an impossible answer. You can't have a profit margin when you are in a $20 deficit. :D

Once again, Danball, you failed to miss the joke.

I think a Democrat could figure out how to tax the $20.00 deficit. ;)
