PROFIT (REVISION): meaning and examples
Good morning everyone.
Today's word is: profit (noun) or to make a profit (verb).
It means: the money you make by selling something or the money that a company has after it has paid its business costs.
Example 1:
The profits from the sale are going towards (se destinan a) helping the victims of the recent tsunami disaster.
Example 2:
We're never going to make a profit if we don't raise prices or cut costs.
REMEMBER: The translation of profit to Spanish is beneficio, so don't confuse the words profit and benefit in English (see yesterday's Daily Vitamin).
