Profit and loss from a table
A shop's stock for the month is shown in a table: each item's quantity, the price it was bought for and the price it sold for. Did the shop make a profit or a loss overall, and how much?
Some items are priced per kilogram and some per unit, and a few sell for less than they cost, so every row has to be worked out before the totals are compared.
