Profit is the money a business has left after paying the costs associated with selling its products or services.
For children, profit can be explained using a simple example. Imagine a child makes handmade bookmarks. If each bookmark costs Rs. 50 to make and is sold for Rs. 100, the difference is Rs. 50 per bookmark.
📚 Bookmark Business Example
| Selling Price | Rs. 100 |
| Cost Per Bookmark | Rs. 50 |
| Bookmarks Sold | 10 |
| Total Revenue | Rs. 1,000 |
