Beginning with number fundamentals, it moves into the skills needed to communicate words into calculators or computers as a means of translating business needs into mathematical answers.Merchandising Math parallels a merchandising career by presenting math in the same sequence as they would be encountered in business. Beginning with the functions of a sales associate (calculating percentage of sales), it progresses to writing orders, calculating markup, analyzing plans, profit and loss statements, and cost sheet development for corporate product development.
