Question

Your store’s average basket (transaction) size for the month of March was $11.50 and you believe the average basket size will remain the same for your store in April. One of your hourly employees had an average basket size of $9.00 for the month of March and averaged 125 transactions per shift. If the same employee’s average basket size was $9.00 for the first two weeks of April but improved to $11.00 for the second two weeks of April, her sales will now be how much lower than the average for your store?
9000

Answer 1

assuming a constant volume of transactions, expected sales:
11.50*125*30 = 43125.00

employee sales for April:
9.00*125*15 + 11.50*125*15 = 38437.5

43125.00 - 38437.50 = 4687.50

Answer 2

10x125=1250x4=5000
