Average Price

Average Price is what a shopper pays, on average.

Calculated as Total Dollars/Total Volume (or / Total Units).

Note that nobody really pays this price, since it is a blend of promoted and regular prices.

Best measure to use for the “regular” price a shopper pays when a product is not on sale.
