Quick question

If someone makes $20 from selling cupcakes, would it be truthful to say that they made $10 as they technically did make $10 before the end of sales?

How about if someone makes five hot dogs, would it be truthful to say that they made 2 hot dogs as he technically did make two hot dogs?


How about if the person made five hot dogs, and have two to a person. Would it be truthful to say that they made two hot dogs for/given to a person? Would it be truthful to say that they made hot dogs for/given to a person?



thanks in advance!
