John buys 500 newspapers. Each newspaper sells for $2. He sells 80% of them. He buys them all for 75% less than the price at which he sells them. How much profit does he make? | He sells 500*.8=<<500*.8=400>>400 newspapers
He sells them for 400*2=$<<400*2=800>>800
He gets a discount of 2*.75=$<<2*.75=1.5>>1.5 on the newspapers
So he buys them for 2-1.5=$<<2-1.5=.5>>.5
