๐Ÿ‘ง

Meet Sam!

"Hi! I'm Sam, and I've been chosen to run our school tuck shop! I'm so excited, but I need to learn about profit and loss. Will you help me understand how to run my tuck shop successfully?"
๐Ÿ’ญ Have you ever wondered how shops make money? Let's find out together!
๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿช ๐Ÿฅค ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿงƒ

Today we're going to learn:

โœจ What Cost Price means
โœจ What Selling Price means
โœจ How to calculate Profit
โœจ How to work out Loss
โœจ Real-world business maths!

๐Ÿ’ฐ Understanding Cost Price (CP)

๐Ÿช
The Cost Price is the amount Sam pays to buy items for her tuck shop.

Let me pause here for a moment...
๐Ÿค” Think about this: If Sam wants to sell chocolate, she first needs to BUY it, right?

Here's an Example:

๐Ÿซ

Pack of 10 Chocolate Bars

ยฃ5.00

Sam pays ยฃ5.00 to the shop

This is her Cost Price (CP)

๐Ÿ’ธ Money going OUT of Sam's pocket

๐Ÿงฎ Now, how much did each chocolate bar cost Sam?
ยฃ5.00 รท 10 bars = 50p per bar
๐Ÿ’ก Remember: Cost Price = Money Sam SPENDS to buy items

๐Ÿท๏ธ Understanding Selling Price (SP)

๐Ÿ’ฐ
Now Sam has the chocolate bars. But what price should she charge her friends?

This is called the Selling Price...
The Selling Price is the amount customers pay to Sam.
๐Ÿ’ฐ Money coming INTO the tuck shop!
๐Ÿค” Sam bought chocolate for 50p each. What price should she charge?

Sam's Decision:

Sam Paid:

๐Ÿซ
50p

Cost Price (CP)

โ†’

Sam Charges:

๐Ÿซ
80p

Selling Price (SP)

๐Ÿ’ก Notice: Sam is charging MORE than she paid!
What do you think will happen?
๐Ÿ’ก Selling Price = Money customers PAY to Sam

๐Ÿ“ˆ Discovering Profit!

๐ŸŽ‰
Remember: Sam paid 50p, but charged 80p!

Let's work out what happens...

Let's Calculate Together:

Cost Price (CP): 50p
Selling Price (SP): 80p
๐Ÿงฎ What's the difference between 80p and 50p?

The Formula:

Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 80p - 50p

Profit = 30p โœจ

๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ

For every chocolate bar sold, Sam makes 30p extra!
This extra money is called PROFIT!

โœจ Key Point:

Profit happens when SP is MORE than CP

(When you sell for more than you paid!)

๐Ÿ“‰ Understanding Loss

๐Ÿค”
But wait! What if things don't always go perfectly?

Let me tell you about something else that can happen...
One day, Sam had crisps that were close to their sell-by date.
Nobody was buying them at the normal price!
๐Ÿ˜ฐ What should Sam do? Should she keep the old price or reduce it?

Sam's Decision:

Sam Paid:

๐Ÿฟ
60p

Cost Price

โ†’

Quick Sale Price:

๐Ÿฟ
40p

Selling Price

๐Ÿงฎ Hmm... Sam charged LESS than she paid. What will happen?

When CP is MORE than SP:

Loss = CP - SP

Loss = 60p - 40p

Loss = 20p

โš ๏ธ What Loss Means:

Sam got back 20p LESS than she paid for each pack


But that's okay! Sometimes making a small loss is better than wasting food.
Sam learned something important for next time! ๐Ÿ“š

๐ŸŽฏ Time to Practice!

๐Ÿค“
Brilliant! You've learned so much!

Now let's test your understanding...

Challenge 1:

Sam bought fruit juice boxes for 40p each.
She sold them for 70p each.
๐Ÿค” Take your time... Is 70p more than 40p or less than 40p?
Think about whether this is a profit or a loss...

Click your answer:

Loss of 30p
Profit of 30p
Profit of 20p
Loss of 10p

๐ŸŽ‰ You're a Champion! ๐ŸŽ‰

Wow! You've done amazingly well!
Sam's tuck shop is going to be brilliant with your help! ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ… Your Achievements:

๐Ÿ“š What You've Mastered:

โœ… Cost Price (CP) - Money you spend to buy things

โœ… Selling Price (SP) - Money you get from customers

โœ… Profit - When SP > CP (you sell for MORE than you paid)

Calculate: SP - CP

โœ… Loss - When CP > SP (you sell for LESS than you paid)

Calculate: CP - SP

๐Ÿ“ Remember These Formulas:

Profit = SP - CP

Loss = CP - SP
