### Determining the Cost of Goods Sold for a Gift Shop

**Scenario:**
A small gift shop has a beginning inventory valued at $8,700. Additional inventory is purchased as detailed in the table below. After a certain period, the ending inventory is valued at $1,700. We need to determine the cost of goods sold (COGS) over this period.

#### Additional Inventory Purchased

| Item       | Cost  | Units | Total   |
|------------|-------|-------|---------|
| Puzzles    | $15.00| 10    | $150.00 |
| Shirts     | $18.00| 15    | $270.00 |
| Key chains | $5.50 | 20    | $110.00 |

#### Calculation Steps:

1. **Calculate the total value of additional inventory purchased:**
   - Puzzles: 10 units * $15.00/unit = $150.00
   - Shirts: 15 units * $18.00/unit = $270.00
   - Key Chains: 20 units * $5.50/unit = $110.00
   - **Total additional inventory purchased:** $150.00 + $270.00 + $110.00 = $530.00

2. **Calculate the total cost of inventory available for sale:**
   - Beginning inventory: $8,700.00
   - Additional inventory purchased: $530.00
   - **Total inventory available:** $8,700.00 + $530.00 = $9,230.00

3. **Calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):**
   - Ending inventory: $1,700.00
   - COGS = Total inventory available - Ending inventory
   - **COGS:** $9,230.00 - $1,700.00 = $7,530.00

Hence, the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for the period is **$7,530.00** (rounded to the nearest hundredth).

### Interactive Feature:
There is a text box provided for the user to enter the calculated cost of goods sold and an "Enter" button to submit the answer.
