  1. A CVS store receives a shipment of 240 bottles of shampoo. After stocking shelves, 180 bottles are on the floor and the rest are in the stockroom. What percentage is in the stockroom?

    Answer: 25%

    60 bottles are in the stockroom; 60/240 = 0.25 = 25%.

  2. A product costs CVS $4.80 and retails for $7.99. Approximately what is the markup percentage based on cost?

    Answer: 66%

    Markup = (7.99 - 4.80) / 4.80 = 3.19 / 4.80 ≈ 66%.

  3. A cashier processes 48 transactions in a 4-hour shift. A second cashier processes 60 transactions in the same period. What is the combined average transactions per hour for both cashiers?

    Answer: 13.5

    Total transactions = 108; total hours = 8; 108/8 = 13.5 per hour.

  4. CVS sells a $50 gift card. The customer pays with a $100 bill. How much change should the cashier return?

    Answer: $50.00

    $100 - $50 = $50 in change.

  5. A store's weekly sales goal is $85,000. By Thursday they have reached $61,200. What percentage of the goal have they achieved?

    Answer: 72%

    61,200 / 85,000 = 0.72 = 72%.

  6. If a pharmacy technician fills 36 prescriptions in 3 hours, how many would they fill in a full 8-hour shift at the same rate?

    Answer: 96

    Rate = 12/hour; 12 × 8 = 96 prescriptions.

  7. A product tagged at $12.49 is ringing up at $13.49. The cashier must honor the shelf price. How much of a price override is needed?

    Answer: $1.00

    $13.49 - $12.49 = $1.00 override needed.
