A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.  His cost of
production is 4/5 of the price, or $80.  What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970
A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set of "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 set "M." Represent the set "C" as a subset of
set "M." Answer this question: What is the cardinality of the
set "P" of profits?

That sad part is, Engineer, I went to school in those years and tought in 30 of them.  :P :'(  It is true, it is true.  I am now trying to make a semi retired living in the lumber industry from 2005 to now and I only speak one tongue. :-/
