Question

Last year, total sales for your grocery store were $10,342 with returns of $214 and discounts of $599. The linear feet of shelving in the store totals 575 linear feet. What are the sales per linear foot for the store?

Answer 1

The sale per linear feet is $16.75.

First, we need to find the total amount of sales, so we have to subtract the returns and discounts.

10342 - 217 - 599 = 9529

Now, divide this amount by the amount of linear feet.
9529 / 575 = 16.57
