What was the second-quarter sales total for the Prescott Valley store?

• A. $200,000
• B. $350,000
• C. $300,000
• D. $250,000

Answer: (D)

Second-quarter sales come from the two key ideas: a quarter is the three-month period (April, May, June in a typical calendar year), and you can find the total for that period by summing those three months or by reading the quarterly total shown for that period.

For the Prescott Valley store, the figures for April, May, and June add up to 250,000 dollars. So the second-quarter sales total is 250,000 dollars. If you’re looking at monthly numbers, you’d simply add the three months together; if there’s a direct quarterly total in the data, it should match that sum.
