Question

Other than gas, a gas station sells on average 12 coffees for $1.25 each, 3 candy bars for 90 cents each, and other products worth $15 every hour. If the gas station has 30 customers an hour and each customer purchases exactly one item, what are its average sales, excluding gas, per customer?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost of Coffee = 1.25 × 12 = $15

Total Cost of Candy = 90×3 = 270 cents = $2.7

Other Cost = $15

Total Spending = $15 + $2.7 + $ 15 = $32.7

gas station has 30 customers an hour and each customer purchases exactly one item

Average Sales= total spending/ average no. of customers per hour

= $32.7/30 = $1.09
