Sales totals

The dataset you'll be working with during this chapter is one year's sales data by month for three different industries. Each row in this monthly_sales array represents a month from January to December. The first column has monthly sales data for liquor stores, the second column has data for restaurants, and the last column tracks sales for department stores.

array([[ 4134, 23925,  8657],
       [ 4116, 23875,  9142],
       [ 4673, 27197, 10645],
       [ 4580, 25637, 10456],
       [ 5109, 27995, 11299],
       [ 5011, 27419, 10625],
       [ 5245, 27305, 10630],
       [ 5270, 27760, 11550],
       [ 4680, 24988,  9762],
