Once we calculate the average number of customers (Total store sales/average spending per person) we can double the customer number to get the no. of customers in 5 years, followed by multiplying it by 20 to get the total store sales after 5 years and dividing it by (2.5*no. of stores presently) to the sales/store
Back to overview
20
Can't we directly divide the total store sales with average expense per person to determine the number of customers ?

Hello Ravi,
You are right, you can obtain the same result using your way.
You will find a different number just because in the case resolution the intermediate results are rounded.
Hope it helps,
Luca

Could the weakness as 'I like speed and sometimes get frustrated by long projects and slow processes' work or it hesitate the interviewer? The prevention methods are the clear milestons and the final picture (I'd be happy to hear your own opinion, not from the chat gpt)
