Question

Carla sells hot coffee, cider and tea from a sidewalk cart near wall street in new york city. last month she sold $4,500 worth of product to 1,000 customers. she spent $800 on buying her beverages in bulk. her monthly costs are: utilities = $100, salary = $2,000, advertising = $0, insurance = $0, interest = $0, rent (cart) = $600, depreciation = $0. calculate carla's average sale per customer.

Answer 1

Since we're talking about the average sale per customer. We can divide the total income for the month with the number of the customers. So we have, $4,500/ 1000 = $4.5.

So it means that's an average of $4.5 per customer.
