Meridian Retail Co. · SQL · beginner

The brief

The seniors are deep in the margin question. Warm-up piece for you: in the products table, every product has a list_price_cents and a cost_price_cents. Show me the ten products with the biggest gap between the two, meaning the most profit per unit at full price. Show the product name, the list price, the cost price, and the gap, sorted with the biggest gap first.
