Does comma go inside quotation of phrase?

[cherriez]

By "a portion of the profit," do you mean money?Also, should a comma go after "by"?Someone says, "I'll give you a portion of the profit."And that's the response.

No comma after by. The comma does go inside the quotation marks.

[luvlyfella]

Comma comes after the Quotation marks..

In America, the comma goes inside the quotations.British English has the comma outside the quotations.Your sentence-- By "a portion of the profit," do you mean money?--is correct.
