A grocery store buys 2 tons of fruit for $1.00 a pound. Then it sells all the fruit for $2.00 a pound. If the store sells all the fruit, how much money did the store have after paying for the fruit?
 
1 ton = 2,000 lbs so
2 tons = 4,000 lbs

The store pays $4,000 originally for the fruit then sells all of it for $2 a pound making $8,000 gross leaving them with a $4,000 profit.

4,000 x $1 = $4,000
4,000 x $2 = $8,000
$8,000 - $4,000 = $4,000
