Question

Team, you have the opportunity to earn great bonuses this quarter. Your goal is to beat our competition, which brings in $1,800,000.00 per quarter in sales. This means that every month, we will need to have more than __________ in sales to beat our competitors."

Answer 1

They will have to bring in more than $600,000 a month to beat their competitors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; This establishment's competitors bring in $1,800,000 per quarter. This means that they bring in that amount of money through sales in a quarter of a year.

A quarter of a year = $\frac{1}{4}$ × 12 months = 3 months.

So the competition brings in $1,800,000 in 3 months.

Step 2; Now we calculate how much this establishment must make to beat them.

Money to brought in a month = $1,800,000 / 3= $600,000 a month.              So the team must bring in more than $600,000 a month to beat their competitor's sales of $1,800,000 in a quarter.
