I have highlighted the details in blue and the explanations in green.

Method of Research

Sixty-five customers of ABC Supermarket responded to a short survey designed to analyze public perception of food waste at ABC Supermarket as well as gauge interest in a potential juicing solution. An analysis of potential costs and revenue was performed to determine the feasibility of implementing such a product. In addition, interviews were conducted with three former employees of the market to estimate the levels of food being thrown out at the market.

I hope this example is helpful.
