Let’s break down the STEM NG² Slushie Stand Challenge step by step 👇🏾

🔄 RECAP

🍧 88 slushies sold

💵 $2.00 per slushie

🧊 Cost to make each slushie = $0.66

💡 Step 1: Total Sales

88 × $2

👉🏾 Think:

88 × 2 = 176

✅ Total Sales = $176.00

💡 Step 2: Total Cost

88 × $0.66

👉🏾 Break it apart:

88 × 66 = 5,808

Move the decimal two places

✅ Total Cost = $58.08

💡 Step 3: Profit

$176.00 − $58.08

✅ Profit = $117.92

🎉 The students earned a profit of $117.92!

📚💰 Word of the Week: STOCK 💰📚

S-T-O-C-K

Stock (noun): A small piece of ownership in a company that you can buy or sell.

💡 Let’s break it down…

When you buy a stock, you become a part owner of that company. While you may only own a small piece, you share in the company’s success as it grows.

👉🏾 Companies sell stocks to raise money
👉🏾 Investors buy stocks hoping their value increases
👉🏾 Some stocks may even pay dividends (extra money paid to shareholders)

✨ Simple Example:
If you buy stock in a company and that company grows, the value of your stock may increase over time.

🎯 Why this matters:
Learning about stocks helps students understand:
✔ Investing
✔ Ownership
✔ Building wealth
✔ Long-term financial planning

🧠 Quick Think Question:
If you own stock in a company, are you:
A. A customer
B. A part owner
C. An employee
