What is Sales (in dollars)?

Sales (in dollars) is the total amount of money you get when people buy things from you.

Imagine you're running a lemonade stand on a hot day. Every time someone buys a cup of lemonade, they give you some money, that's like your sales. If one person gives you $1 for a cup, and another gives you $2 for two cups, then your total sales (in dollars) would be $3.

• When people buy things from you, it’s called a sale.
• Each sale has a price, which is how much money the person pays.
• You add up all those prices, that gives you your total sales in dollars.

Think of it like counting coins in your piggy bank. Every time you get some money from selling something, it’s like adding more coins to the bank. The more people buy things, the more coins (or dollars) you have!

If you sell 10 lemonades at $1 each, that's $10 in sales, just like 10 coins in your piggy bank!
