The lemonade stand: cost, price, profit and loss, sentence 3

The price matters too: at £2 a cup hardly anyone buys, at 50p lots do, and when the kid next door sells at 40p, customers drift away unless your lemonade is better.

Who acts: price, anyone, p lots, kid, customers, lemonade · What happens: matter, buy, do, sell, drift away, be · To what, where: £ cup, 40 p
