"Selling Clothes at the Market"

Maria had a lot of clothes she didn’t wear anymore, so she decided to sell them at the weekend market. She gathered jackets, dresses, and jeans that were still in good condition and set up a small stall. As people walked by, Maria invited them to take a look at the items she was selling.

One customer asked, “How much for this leather jacket?” Maria replied, “I’m asking $50 for it, but I’m open to offers.” The customer tried on the jacket and liked it. “It fits perfectly,” she said. After a little negotiation, they agreed on $45.

Later, another customer approached Maria’s stall and asked if there were any discounts. Maria smiled and said, “Yes, I’m offering 10% off on these jeans.” The customer appreciated the discount and bought two pairs of jeans.

By the end of the day, Maria had sold most of her clothes. She was happy to make some extra money and give her clothes a new home.
