    Carry sales and COGS through August to get the rest of your July numbers.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to get to "agree."

    You are mixing up sales price and cost. There is no need to do the COGS equation because you already have those numbers. However, if you want to show it, you have to convert everything to cost, which is 70% of the retail amounts. (I'm not sure where you got your purchase numbers from because they aren't 70%.)
