手早い答え
receita は入ってくる収益、lucro は費用を引いた残りです。
確実な見分け方は、英語から訳す前に、その単語の働きを見きわめることです。
それぞれの単語の働き
lucro
profit
Use lucro for the positive amount remaining after relevant costs and expenses.
receita

Use receita for money earned or received before subtracting the relevant expenses.
選び方
- lucro: Choose lucro if the sentence points to the positive amount remaining after relevant costs and expenses.
- receita: Choose receita if the sentence points to money earned or received before subtracting the relevant expenses.
例文
A empresa teve lucro no último trimestre.
The company made a profit in the last quarter.
