Answer:
The total number of shoppers that visited the mall in the first 7 days is 234.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of customers at the new shopping mall on their first day of business was, X = 120.
It is provided that each day the number of shoppers is 10% more than the number of shoppers the day before.
This implies that the number of shoppers on the second day of the opening is:
Number of shoppers on the 2nd day = (120 × 1.10)
Then the number of shoppers on the third day of the opening will be:
Number of shoppers on the 3rd day = (120 × 1.10) × 1.10
And so on.
Compute the total number of shoppers that visited the mall in the first 7 days as follows:
[tex]\text{Number of shoppers on the first 7 days} = 120 \times (1.10)^{7}[/tex]
[tex]=120\times 1.9487171\\=233.846052\\\approx 234[/tex]
Thus, the total number of shoppers that visited the mall in the first 7 days is 234.
