The government gives the bottom 20% of people a $2000 stimulus.  They have found that this kind of stimulus returns 5 times as much money to the government, in terms of tax revenue, as it cost.  The city has 1000 people in it.  What was the government profit from this project?
How many people did the government give money to? ** They gave money to 1000*.2=<<1000*.2=200>>200 people
How much did the government give away? ** It cost 200*2000=$<<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
