6. John’s sales were 5% less than Juan’s every day of the week.
Now, let's analyze each question:

To answer this question, we know that John's sales were 5% less than Juan's every day of the week, and Juan exceeded the goal by 10% on Wednesday. Therefore, since John's sales were less than Juan's, we can conclude that John did not meet the goal for Wednesday. The correct answer is Definitely True.
27. Juan’s most productive shift was Tuesday. (The answer choices are Definitely True, Definitely False, Indeterminate)
To answer this question, we know that Juan exceeded the goal by 15% on Tuesday and 10% on Wednesday. Since Tuesday had the highest percentage of goal exceeded, we can conclude that Juan's most productive shift was indeed Tuesday. The correct answer is Definitely True.
28. Everyone but Mary met sales goals on Monday. (The answer choices are Definitely True, Definitely False, Indeterminate)
To answer this question, we know that Jim always meets the sales goals and Mary missed her Monday goal by 5%. Since Jim always meets the sales goals, we can conclude that everyone but Mary indeed met the sales goals on Monday. The correct answer is Definitely True.
29. Mary missed her goals during peak day shifts. (The answer choices are Definitely True, Definitely False, Indeterminate)
To answer this question, the information given does not specify whether Mary missed her goals during peak day shifts or not. It only states that Mary missed her Monday goal by 5%, but it does not mention anything about peak day shifts. Therefore, we cannot determine if Mary missed her goals during peak day shifts.
