Here is some context
if I buy a phone that is worth a lot I can make more money off it than if it isn't worth much. If the phone is worth 600 and I buy it for 300 I can easily make 100 off it if I sell it for 400. If I buy a phone that is worth 100 I can't make as much off it.

Could you you tell me how to say it?
