To calculate whether she had profit or loss, you have to subtract what she spent on coffe to the total amount she earned from the sales.

If the difference is positive, then she would have earned money.

If the difference is negative, then she would have lost money.

She spent: $200 in coffe beans

She earned: $325 from the sales


325-200=125

The difference is $125, since the result is positive you can conclude that she earned $125
