Profit or Loss?
Jill brought home a poster from her trip. She had paid $25 for it. Liu saw the poster and gave Jill $35 for it. A few days later, Jill bought the poster back for $45. Then she sold it again, this time to her cousin Allie for $55. Did Jill make money on her transactions, or lose money?

she lost $5
Answer.......Add up all the money that Jill spent — $25 and $45 for a total of $70. Then add up all the money Jill got for the poster — $35 and $55 for a total of $90. Jill came out ahead by $20.
