Grade 4 · The Venture Year · Week 9

Profit: What Is Left

The number that tells you whether any of this was worth doing.

This game goes with week 9 of the workbook. Do the page first; the game is for seeing the numbers move. Nothing you type is kept.

Three days at the same stand

Monday: revenue $40, cost $25. Profit (a loss with a minus sign)$ Tuesday: revenue $31, cost $31. Profit (a loss with a minus sign)$ Wednesday: revenue $22, cost $30. Profit (a loss with a minus sign)$

Same revenue, different answer

Popcorn: revenue $60, cost $18. Profit$ Slushies: revenue $60, cost $52. Profit$

Both stands would tell you they made $60. The page asks why that is misleading.
