STORY: From the very high price for a trip to 7-Eleven, to why a robotaxi might be coming to pick you up, this is the Week in Numbers.

Under $30,000 is how much Elon Musk says Tesla’s new Cybercab will cost when it goes on sale in 2026.

Musk says the robotaxis will revolutionise transport.

“You could fall asleep and wake up at your destination.”

Skeptics note he has a long history of overoptimistic promises when it comes to self-driving cabs.

$47 billion is now the bid for Seven & i - operator of the global 7-Eleven chain.

The Japanese firm rejected an earlier bid from Canada’s Alimentation Couche-Tard, and still wants to stay independent.

It’s set out a plan to hive off underperforming units as part of a response.

Up to $16.5 billion is how much FTX says it has available to repay customers.

The collapsed crypto exchange won approval this week for a bankruptcy plan.

But some creditors dispute claims that they’ll be repaid in full.

Just under $6.8 billion is how much profit Samsung thinks it will make over the third-quarter.

The number was so disappointing that the tech giant felt the need to apologise to investors.

Samsung said it was sorry to have let rivals take the lead on AI.

And 31% was the jump in profit at Uniqlo-owner Fast Retailing.

That saw earnings hit a record for a third straight year.

Now boss Tadashi Yanai - Japan’s richest man - says the goal is nothing less than domination in Western markets.
