2.5: Profits

Ganansia is one’s profits after a sales transaction occurs.  The seller usually has a set price to his/her items, however when a buyer comes along and wants to haggle, the seller raises their prices a bit to ensure he/she at least gets some money.

Example:  Brian originally purchased a home entertainment system for $500.  After one year, the company that created that home entertainment system created a new model with better quality.  Brian decides to sell the system he currently owns.  He puts up an ad on Craigslist in attempt to sell the system for $800.  Christian responds to that ad stating he was interested in purchasing the system, however for $600 instead of $800.  Brian replies back and says he’ll sell it for $700 and that’s the final offer.  Christian agrees to purchase it for $700.  In the end Brian profited $200 from the transaction.

Non-example:  Clara purchased a dress for $50.  After a month, she still hasn’t worn it.  One day her friend Michelle came over.  While they were hanging out in Clara’s room Michelle spots the dress hanging in the closet.  Clara asks Michelle if she wants to buy it from her and states that she has never worn it.  Michelle is interested and asks Clara how much she was selling it for.  Clara tells her $75.  Michelle notices the price tag was still on and sees that it was worth $50.  Michelle tells Clara that she’ll buy it from her for $50.  Clara agrees.  In the end Clara profited nothing.


Objective:  Given a haggling scenario, participants will identify how much profit the seller accumulated.
