Question

A local grocery store kept track of the types of items sold in 2 hours. Express the ratio that compares the amount of produce sold to the total number of grocery items sold.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Tracking sales in a small convenience store does not require sophisticated sales monitoring software or expensive computer equipment, although basic point of sale software can save time and prevent mathematical errors. Daily monitoring of inventory, saving sales receipts and using a simple spreadsheet may be all you need to track sales. Depending on the size of your store and foot traffic the store receives each day, tracking sales may take only an hour or so each day.
