The lemonade stand results
May 19th, 2008 by Alicia
Victoria ran her lemonade and brownie stand from 10 a.m. until 3:45 p.m. today. Other than a few breaks where her sister manned it so she could run to the bathroom or grab a bagel, she sat at it all day.
It started slow, with hardly anybody passing for the first hour. Then people passed but said they hadn’t brought money. Slowly, people started to stop to buy. First there would be a rush on brownies and then later it would be lemonade, back and forth.
The end results:
She had $15.90 in her cash box.
She spent $4.75 for supplies (brownie mix, kool-aid lemonade mix, cups) and started out with $4.50 in change.
She promised her sister 1/3 of the profits after her initial investment was recouped.
