    0.22% shrinkage as a percent of sales.

    To calculate shrinkage you subtract the physical inventory value from the book value.

    245,000-237,000 = 800

    The shrinkage was $800. To find the shrinkage as a percent of sales take the shrinkage value and divide it by the sales value to get shrinkage as a percentage of sales.

    800 / 360,000 = 0.0022 ...

    Multiply Decimal by 100 to get the percentage

    100 * 0.0022 ... = 0.22%
