CVS - Assessment Retail Math and Logic Questions and Answers

Question 1

A customer's total purchase is $36.88. They hand you a $50 bill. How much change should the customer receive?

Accepted Answer

$13.12

Answer

To find the correct change, subtract the total purchase amount from the cash given: $50.00 - $36.88 = $13.12. Alternatively, you can 'count up' from the total: add $0.12 to get to $37.00, add $3.00 to get to $40.00, and add $10.00 to get to $50.00. The total change is $0.12 + $3.00 + $10.00 = $13.12.

Question 2

CVS has a "Buy One, Get One 50% Off" promotion on vitamins, with the discount applied to the item of equal or lesser value. A customer buys one bottle for $15.00 and a second bottle for $10.00. What is their total cost for both bottles before tax?

Accepted Answer

$20.00

Answer

The promotion applies the 50% discount to the item of lesser value. The lesser-priced item is $10.00. The discount is 50% of $10.00, which is $5.00. The total cost is the price of the first item ($15.00) plus the discounted price of the second item ($5.00), which equals $20.00.

Question 3

An item is regularly priced at $24.50 and is on sale for 20% off. What is the final price of the item before tax?

Accepted Answer

$19.60

Answer

First, calculate the discount amount: $24.50 * 20% (or 0.20) = $4.90. Then, subtract the discount from the original price: $24.50 - $4.90 = $19.60.

Question 4

A customer is trying to decide which of two sizes of hand sanitizer is a better value. Option A is a 10 oz bottle for $4.50. Option B is a 24 oz bottle for $9.60. Which of the following is the most accurate statement?

Accepted Answer

Option B is the better value.

Answer

To determine the best value, calculate the price per unit (per ounce). Option A: $4.50 / 10 oz = $0.45 per ounce. Option B: $9.60 / 24 oz = $0.40 per ounce. Since Option B has a lower cost per ounce, it is the better value.

Question 5

The pharmacy's inventory system shows 1500 tablets of a common medication are in stock. On average, the pharmacy dispenses 100 tablets per day. How many days of supply does the pharmacy have on hand?

Accepted Answer

15 days

Answer

To calculate the days of supply, divide the total quantity in stock by the average daily usage. 1500 tablets / 100 tablets per day = 15 days of supply.
