How does a store manager use maths?

Answer 1

A store manager needs to know how many hours employees work, which entails adding up the time they have recorded. The store manager has to figure out payroll, which means multiplying the hours worked times the rate of pay per employee. A store manager has to order supplies and pay for them, which entails more math. A store manager has to pay bills, such as electricity and water bills for the store -- more math. Keeping track of inventory requires math; filling out forms for the parent company requires math; even making change for customers requires math. These are the basic uses of math -- depending on the business, there could be many other complicated uses of math.
