I am taking a course in professional retail management and I am doing a math pre-test. Here is the word problem I am not sure how to do.
Planned sales for the month are $870,000. The store was given a stretch goal to increase planned sales for the month by 4%. What is the new sales plan in dollars for the month?
We are to use 'N' as the item we are looking for. We have to show our work.
Here is an example of what we are doing......
The paint department received only 85% of the planned shipment. The department received 2,550 units. How many units should the department have received?
a. 2,550 is 85% of N
b. 2550/.85 = 3000
c. The department should have received 3,000 units.
