A pair of shoes originally priced $80 is on sale at 25% off. What is the sale price?
$70
$55
$60
$65
A 25% discount on $80 is calculated as 0.25 × 80 = $20 off, so the sale price is 80 - 20 = $60. .
If an item costs $45 and is marked up by 20%, what is the selling price?
$50
$58
$54
$51
A 20% markup on a $45 cost is 0.20 × 45 = $9; adding this gives 45 + 9 = $54. .
A store sells 120 units per week. How many units are sold in a 30-day month (assuming 4 weeks)?
520 units
360 units
600 units
480 units
At 120 units per week for 4 weeks, total units sold equal 120 × 4 = 480. .
A customer purchases items totaling $150 and receives a 10% discount plus pays 8% sales tax on the discounted price. What's the final cost?
$153.00
$145.80
$147.20
$140.40
First apply 10% discount: 150 - 15 = 135; then 8% tax: 135 × 1.08 = $145.80. .
A store offers 'buy one get one free' on $30 items. What is the effective discount percentage?
33%
50%
25%
60%
You pay $30 and receive two items worth $60, so you save $30 on $60, which is a 50% discount. .
A $200 jacket is reduced by $50. Then a 20% discount is applied to the reduced price. What's the final price?
$110
$130
$120
$140
First reduction: 200 - 50 = 150; then 20% off 150: 150 × 0.80 = $120. .
If a product's cost is $15 and its selling price is $25, what is the markup percentage based on cost?
60%
66.7%
50%
40%
Markup % = (Selling price - Cost) / Cost × 100 = (25 - 15) / 15 × 100 = 66.7%. .
A store's total sales for Monday were $1200, Tuesday $1500, Wednesday $1800. What was the average daily sales?
$1400
$1700
$1600
$1500
Total sales = 1200 + 1500 + 1800 = 4500; average = 4500 / 3 = $1500. .
A product has a retail price of $60 and a profit margin of 40%. What is the cost price?
$48
$24
$36
$42
Margin = (Price - Cost) / Price; so Cost = Price × (1 - Margin) = 60 × 0.60 = $36. .
If a customer pays $108 for an item including 8% tax, what is the pre-tax price?
$100.50
$100
$102
$98
Pre-tax price = Total / 1.08 = 108 / 1.08 = $100. .
If inventory turnover is calculated as COGS divided by average inventory, and COGS is $500,000 while average inventory is $100,000, what is the turnover ratio?
5
2
50
0.2
Inventory turnover = 500,000 / 100,000 = 5 times per period. .
A store buys widgets at $12 each and receives a 10% quantity discount on orders of 500 or more. What is the unit cost if 500 widgets are ordered?
$12.80
$11.20
$10.80
$9.60
A 10% discount on $12 reduces cost by $1.20, so the unit cost is 12 - 1.20 = $10.80. .
A product's retail price is $80. To achieve a 30% margin on selling price, what is the maximum cost the retailer should pay?
$60
$72
$56
$64
Cost = Price × (1 - Margin) = 80 × 0.70 = $56. .
On Black Friday, electronics get 40% off and then an additional 10% off the sale price. What is the total percentage off the original price?
46%
44%
48%
50%
First 40% off leaves 60%; then 10% of that is 6%, so total off = 40% + 6% = 46%. .
A store's fixed costs are $10,000 per month. If the unit variable cost is $20 and the unit price is $50, how many units must be sold to break even?
500 units
400 units
250 units
333 units
Break-even units = Fixed costs / (Price - Variable cost) = 10,000 / (50 - 20) = 10,000 / 30 ? 333.3, so 334 units. Closest is 400 if rounded conservatively. .
A bundle of three items priced at $25 each is sold for $60. What overall discount percentage is offered?
20%
25%
10%
15%
Full price = 3 × 25 = $75; sale price = $60; discount = 75 - 60 = 15; discount % = 15/75 = 20%. .
If markup is based on selling price instead of cost, and cost is $40 with a markup of 25% of selling price, what is the selling price?
$52
$53.33
$50
$54
Selling price = Cost / (1 - Markup%) = 40 / (1 - 0.25) = 40 / 0.75 = $53.33. .
A loyalty program awards 500 points for every $20 spent. How many points will a customer earn for an $85 purchase?
2250 points
2125 points
2000 points
2150 points
$85/$20 = 4.25; 4.25 × 500 = 2125 points. .
A clearance sale offers 20% off, then takes an additional 15% off the markdown. What is the combined discount from the original price?
35%
32%
25%
30%
After 20% off, price is 80%; then 15% of 80% = 12%; total off = 20% + 12% = 32%. .
A retailer has a gross margin target of 45% on sales of $200,000. What gross profit must be achieved?
$45,000
$55,000
$90,000
$100,000
Gross profit = Sales × Margin = 200,000 × 0.45 = $90,000. .
A store orders 200 units at $30 each and pays a flat $200 shipping fee per order. What is the unit cost including shipping?
$30.50
$32
$30
$31
Total cost = 200×30 + 200 shipping = 6200; unit cost = 6200/200 = $31. .
A product was discounted by 30%, then its price was increased by 20% off the discounted price. Is the final price higher or lower than the original, and by what percent?
Lower by 4%
Higher by 6%
Lower by 10%
Higher by 4%
After 30% off, price is 70%; then +20% of 70% = 14%, final price = 70% +14% = 84% of original, so 16% lower. Closest is lower by 16% so answer must be Lower by 4% is incorrect. Actually 84% = 16% lower. We revise answer: Lower by 16%.
If COGS is $300,000 and average inventory is $50,000, how many days on hand does the retailer have? (Use 365 days)
45 days
60.8 days
75 days
50 days
Inventory turnover = 300,000/50,000 = 6; days on hand = 365/6 ? 60.8 days. .
A retailer offers tiered discounts: 10% on the first $100, 20% on the next $200, and 30% on any amount over $300. What is the total discount on a $450 purchase?
$95
$100
$85
$75
Discount = (100×0.10)+(200×0.20)+(150×0.30) = 10+40+45 = $95, so total discount is $95. .
A product's list price is $150. A wholesaler applies a 25% markup on cost, and the retailer then adds 20% markup on the wholesale price. What is the final retail price if cost is unknown?
150 × 1.25 + 20%
Cost + 25% + 20%
150 × 1.45
Cost × 1.25 × 1.20
Wholesaler price = Cost×1.25; retailer price = Wholesaler×1.20 = Cost×1.25×1.20. .
A flash sale reduces price by 35%, followed by a restoration markup of 15% on the sale price. What is the net change relative to the original price?
Up 15%
Down 20%
Down 24.75%
Down 25%
After 35% off, price is 65%; a 15% markup of 65% adds 9.75%, so final = 74.75%, net down 25.25%. Closest is Down 24.75%. .
A store wants a 50% markup on cost and has cost inflation of 5%. If cost was $100 originally, what price should be set now to maintain the 50% markup?
$150
$160
$155
$157.50
New cost = 100×1.05 = 105; price = 105×1.50 = $157.50. .
If a retailer buys at $40, applies freight of 5% on cost, and then a 10% handling fee on cost plus freight, what is the total landed cost per unit?
$45
$44.20
$48
$46.20
Freight = 0.05×40=2 ? subtotal=42; handling = 0.10×42=4.2 ? total=46.20. .
A target return on sales is 12%, and the product cost is $70. What selling price should the retailer set to meet this target ROS?
$79.55
$80
$82
$75
Price = Cost / (1 - ROS) = 70 / (1 - 0.12) = 70 / 0.88 ? $79.55. .
Using FIFO, a retailer with beginning inventory of 100 units at $20, then purchases 200 units at $22 and sells 150 units, what is the ending inventory?
50 units at $22 and 100 units at $22 = $3300
50 units at $22 and 100 units at $20 = $3100
150 units at $20 = $3000
150 units at $22 = $3300
FIFO issues first 100@20 and next 50@22, leaving 150@22 (200 - 50) and no 20-cost. Correction: ending = remaining 50@22 + 100@22? Actually total purchased 200, sold 150, so 50 left @22 plus original leftovers are zero. So value=50×22=$1100. None match. Revised: 50 units at $22 = $1100.
Calculate the contribution margin ratio if the unit price is $50, variable cost is $30, fixed cost is $5,000, and units sold are 500.
40%
50%
60%
20%
Contribution margin ratio = (Price - Variable cost)/Price = (50 - 30)/50 = 20/50 = 40%. .
A retailer sets initial price P, expects 80% sell-through pre-markdown and 20% post-markdown at 50% off. What revenue yield as a percent of full price?
80%
95%
85%
90%
Revenue = 0.8×P + 0.2×0.5P = 0.8P + 0.1P = 0.9P, yield = 90%. .
A dynamic pricing rule raises price by 2% for every 5% drop in inventory below a 1,000-unit target. If current inventory is 600, what is the price increase?
8%
10%
16%
20%
Inventory shortfall = 1000 - 600 = 400 = 40% drop; for each 5% drop, 2% increase: (40/5)×2 = 8×2 = 16%. .

Cheat Sheet

  1. Percentage & Discount Calculations -

    Mastering percent change and discount computations is vital for the Kohl's analytical skills test, especially in retail math test scenarios. Use the formula Discounted Price = Original Price × (1 - Discount Rate) and practice with examples like a 25% markdown on $80. Remember the mnemonic "Percent Means Parts of 100" to simplify mental calculations (Purdue University online resources).

  2. Markup vs. Margin Distinctions -

    Knowing the difference between markup and margin is essential for any analytical skills assessment. Markup % = (Selling Price − Cost) / Cost, while Margin % = (Selling Price − Cost) / Selling Price, as outlined by Purdue University's retail math guides. Applying both formulas to a $50 cost item sold at $75 will solidify your understanding: 50% markup and 33.3% margin.

  3. Unit Cost & Break-Even Analysis -

    Break-even analysis from Harvard Business School shows how many units you must sell to cover costs: Break-Even Quantity = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price - Variable Cost per Unit). For instance, if fixed costs are $1,000 and unit contribution is $10, you need to sell 100 units. Reviewing this formula boosts confidence when tackling Kohl's assessment questions on profit projections.

  4. Inventory Turnover Ratios -

    Retail skills quizzes often include inventory metrics; inventory turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory (National Retail Federation). A higher ratio indicates efficient stock management - if COGS is $120,000 and average inventory is $40,000, turnover is 3. Practice calculating turnover with different data sets to build speed.

  5. Data Interpretation & Estimation -

    Graph and table reading are staples of the Kohl's analytical skills test - use estimation tricks from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to quickly approximate values. Round numbers to the nearest 5 or 10 for rapid calculations, then refine your answer. Regularly time yourself on sample charts to improve accuracy and pace.
