Thanks for the clarification point, David. I knew that. Math isn't my best
subject (English was) which is why I'm a tech writer and not a coder. BTW...
not to pick any nits, lose is not spelled 'loose' ^_^

Thanks again. You're totally right.

Susan

Not to pick too may nits, but unless you acquire your merchandise for free,
you will loose money on an $18/day stall, if you only sell $18 in
merchandise. If you mark up your merchandise 100%, you will need to sell $36
to cover the price of the stall, and not loose money on your merchandise.
