Matthew · Answer 1

It will need to sale 16,500 boxes of 5 boxes each

the total boxed sales through wholesales will be 82,500

Doing so, will achieve the sales target of 2,700,000

Explanation:

sales target: 2,700,000

retail sales fulfil 45% of 2,700,000 = 1,215,000‬

wholesale target 2,700,000 - 1,215,000 = 1,485,000‬

each carton of 5 boxes cost 90:

1,485,000 / 90 = 16500

It will need to sale 16,500 cartyon of 5 boxes each

total boxes: 16,500 x 5 = 82,500
