How much profit was made after all the prizes were given out?
:
Find the total amt received
2 * 57444 = $114,888
:
Find how much is left after 1st and 2nd prizes were paid
114888 - 2000 - 1500 = $111,388
:
Calculate the total amt of the remaining 200 prizes
Find the average pay out between the 3rd and 202th prize = 502.5
Use this average to find the total of 200 payouts
200 * 502.5 = $100500 paid out
Find how much is left of the 111388 remaining after 1st and 2nd prizes are paid
111388 - 100500 = $10,888 profit
