What are sales?

Sales are when people sell things to other people so they can get money or something else in return.

Imagine you have a lemonade stand on the corner of your street. You made lemonade, and you want people to buy it. When someone gives you money for your lemonade, that's a sale!

Let’s say your friend has a toy car they don’t need anymore, and you have a candy bar you’d love to trade for. If you both agree to swap, that’s like a sale too! Your friend is selling the toy car, and you’re buying it with your candy bar.

You see sales when:

• A store clerk helps you pick out a shirt and you pay them.
• You buy ice cream from a vendor on the street.
• Your parents buy groceries for dinner.

Sales are just people giving things to others in exchange for something else, like money, toys, or even lemonade!
