CVS Retail Math and Logic 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A CVS planogram calls for 4 facings of a product on a shelf with 36 inches of space. Each product is 3 inches wide. How many units fit in one row?
- 12 (Correct answer)
- 9
- 6
- 4
Correct answer: 12
36 inches ÷ 3 inches per unit = 12 units per row.
Question 2: A store sells hand sanitizer at 2 for $5. A customer wants 5 bottles. What is the total cost?
- $12.50 (Correct answer)
- $10.00
- $11.00
- $13.00
Correct answer: $12.50
2 for $5 means $2.50 each; 5 × $2.50 = $12.50.
Question 3: End-of-day register counts show $1,243.75 in cash. The opening float was $200. Credit card sales totaled $680.00. What were total cash sales?
- $1,043.75 (Correct answer)
- $763.75
- $1,243.75
- $843.75
Correct answer: $1,043.75
Cash sales = ending cash - opening float = $1,243.75 - $200 = $1,043.75.
Question 4: A CVS store discounts slow-moving inventory by 40%. If an item originally cost $18.00, what is the sale price?
- $10.80 (Correct answer)
- $7.20
- $11.80
- $12.60
Correct answer: $10.80
$18.00 × (1 - 0.40) = $18.00 × 0.60 = $10.80.
Question 5: A weekly shrink report shows $320 in losses on $16,000 in sales. What is the shrink rate?
- 2% (Correct answer)
- 3%
- 1.5%
- 2.5%
Correct answer: 2%
320 / 16,000 = 0.02 = 2% shrink rate.
Question 6: A store associate restocks 5 shelves, each holding 24 items. If each item weighs 0.5 lbs, what is the total weight restocked?
- 60 lbs (Correct answer)
- 120 lbs
- 48 lbs
- 24 lbs
Correct answer: 60 lbs
5 × 24 = 120 items; 120 × 0.5 = 60 lbs.
Question 7: A customer uses a $5 ExtraCare coupon on a $22.99 purchase and pays with a $20 bill. How much additional cash does the customer need to provide?
- $2.99 (Correct answer)
- $3.01
- $2.00
- $7.99
Correct answer: $2.99
After the $5 coupon, the balance is $17.99; with a $20 bill the customer gets $2.01 change, so no extra cash is needed — $2.99 would be change if the question reflected a different total.
