An old-fashioned lemonade stand makes cents in
busy, modern times! Few people take the time to
squeeze fresh lemonade. Follow our "recipe" for
success and start a lemonade stand of your own!
You will need to invest a little cash to get started. Visit or call a
local store to find out what the things you need cost. Add up
your costs to determine your price and profit. Here is what the
math looks like:

multiplying amounts of money.

On a hot day, in the right spot, you might sell 100 cups of
lemonade! How much money would you earn?
Make a big, bold sign to attract people to your stand. If it is OK
with your neighbors, put up several colorful signs to direct
people to your stand.
Offer your lemonade in cups made out of oranges. To
make one, cut the top off of an orange and scoop out the
insides with a spoon. Pour in the lemonade and serve
with a straw. Give your lemonade-in-an-orange a
snazzy name, like CITRUS TREAT, and charge
more!
Remember! Add the cost of an orange and a straw
to your expenses to determine the price of your "Citrus Treat."
Kevin and Melanie have everything they need for their
lemonade stand—except customers. Draw some
customers purchasing lemonade to complete this picture.
