This
table gives information about the sales of a small, downtown restaurant
in an American business district, in a particular week in October.
For
lunch sales, Monday to Friday, working days, the figures are very
consistent, varying from $2,375 on Thursday to $2,595 on Wednesday, the
busiest day. Lunchtime sales on Saturday were lower, at $1,950, as this
is a weekend when many businesses are closed. For dinner, sales were
similar for Monday to Thursday evenings, between $3,500 and $4,000, but
there was a marked increase on Friday night, $4,350, probably due to
people celebrating the start of the weekend. On Saturday evening,
takings dropped to $2,950, perhaps because most regular customers work
in the business district.
Lunch
sales were highest on Wednesday and lowest on Saturday. Dinner sales
were highest on Friday evening and, again, lowest on Saturday night. The
restaurant was closed on Sunday, which is the quieter day of the
American weekend.
