Does the MIT license allow you to sell software?

For example, I want to make some application. I will write one part myself, I will take the other from the github and modify / add a little, it is distributed under the MIT license.
Can I sell the resulting application and close the source codes of my authorship?
It is my understanding that it is also necessary to include the text of the MIT license with the redistributable product. This is where I get confused. The MIT text says the software is free. But in fact, the Application Itself will be paid. Those. do I need to somehow distinguish between My License and MIT?

The use of this license does not impose any restrictions on the sale.
"In general, the MIT license allows you to freely use someone else's work. If you distribute your product, which will be someone else's code licensed under the MIT license, you are required to indicate the copyrights of the authors of the codes, the text of the license and the disclaimer. In essence , you must duplicate the text of the license you received in your product.The MIT license is not a copyleft license, that is, it does not require that the product you will distribute be open source, you can use any code under the MIT license in any of your open source projects or closed."
