Locker Store Project

To make extra cash you decide to run a small shop (with the schools permission, of
course) out of your locker. You sell 3 types of items:

Drinks: juice boxes, cans of pop, bottled water, etc.

School supplies: any one type of your choice pencils, paper, books, erasers,
rulers, calculators, etc.
Any one other item of your choice: Memory sticks, lip balm, crazy straws,
nail-polish, books, etc.

For each item you plan to sell you need to find:

Wholesale price for the item in bulk (research actual prices from stores)
Your markup percentage (you want to make a profit)
How much you will charge per one item before tax
Any sales you plan on having (20% off Fridays, 2-for-1 deals, buy 4 get 5th
free)
o Choose one

Answer the following questions, on a separate piece of paper, using the information
you gathered [6 marks]:
1. Mrs. Pfnuer wants to buy 15 beverages, 6 school supplies, and 12 items of
your choice for full price. How much money will you charge her (including 5%
PST, 7% GST tax)?
2. What was your profit?
3. You decide to give a friendly-discount of 15% off to your buddy who buys 5
drinks from you. How much will he pay you (including 5% PST, 7% GST tax)?
