Question

If you need to determine the profit made from a lemonade stand, what piece of information do you not need?
A
The number of cups of lemonade sold
C
The amount of money spent on supplies
D
The weather on the day of the sale.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Profit is the difference between money used and money earned. In our case, A is the number of cups of lemonades sold. This is a measure of how much money you earn because each one had a certain cost and the number of sales is a total of how many were sold.

C is the amount of money spend on supplies. This is basically money used.

D is the weather on the day of the sale, and this could be a correlated factor to some of the data, but it is not used to determine profit.

Therefore, the answer is D.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!
