Answer: She has 525 costumers.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the costumer base is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] residential and [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] business. This means that:
[tex]\frac{2}{3}=350[/tex] residential customers
Let be "x" the total costumers Athy has and "y" the number of business costumers.
Then "x" must be:
[tex]x=350+y[/tex]
Then, in order to find "y" , we need to multiply the number of residential costumers by [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] and divide the product by [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] :
[tex]y=\frac{(350)(\frac{1}{3})}{\frac{2}{3} }\\\\y=175[/tex]
Substituting we get that "x" is:
[tex]x=350+175=525[/tex] costumers
