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 employee works four shifts per week for the month of April (a four week period) and does not change her average basket size or number of transactions, her sales will be how much lower than average for your store?

5000
1250
18000
256
11250

transactions= 125/shift*4shifts/week*4week/month

howmuchlower= (11.50-9)*transactions above

1250

5000

her average for April= 10.00 x 125= 1250 x 4=5000

To calculate the employee's sales for the month of April, we first need to determine the number of transactions she will have in April.

Since she works four shifts per week for the month of April, which is a four-week period, she will work a total of 4 * 4 = 16 shifts.

Given that she averaged 125 transactions per shift in March, if she continues to maintain the same average in April, her total transactions for April will be 125 * 16 = 2000 transactions.

To calculate her sales for April, we can multiply the number of transactions by her average basket size: 2000 * $9.00 = $18,000.

The employee's sales for April will be $18,000, which is $18,000 - $11.50 (store average basket size for March) * 2000 (number of transactions) = $12,250 lower than the store average for the same period.

Therefore, the correct answer is 11250.
