you apparently have a short attention span.......let me try again, dumbing it down for you......John sells the apples he picked off the tree for $100......he then buys a new bushel basket for $20 from the hardware store and some potatoes from Henry for $80.......The owner of the hardware store spends the $20 on nails from the blacksmith and Henry spends $80 for feed for his chickens.........the blacksmith buys coal from Jack for $20 and the grain mill spends the $80 for a new mill stone.......the quarry spends the $80 for new chisels at the hardware store and Jack buys apples from John.........its still Tuesday.........how many dollars have been spent?..... oh wait, its the same $100......
