How many people did the government give money to? ** They gave money to 1000*.2=<<1000*.2=200>>200 people
How much did the government give away? ** It cost 200*2000=$<<200*2000=400000>>400,000
How much money did the government collect? ** There was a 5 to 1 return so the government collected 5*400000=$<<5*400000=2000000>>2,000,000
How much money did the government make? ** That means the profit was 2,000,000-400,000=$<<2000000-400000=1600000>>1,600,000
