Question

Moussa owns a small business selling clothing. He knows that in the last week 92 customers paid cash, 5 customers used a debit card, and 25 customers used a credit card.
If next week, he is expecting 1600 customers, about how many would you expect to pay with cash? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

1207

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of customers last week: 92 + 5 + 25 = 122

Number of customers who paid cash: 92

Percent of customers who paid cash last week: 92/122 × 100% = 75.4%

Next week:

Total number of customers: 1600

Expected number of customers paying cash:

75.4% of 1600 = 0.754 × 1600 = 1207
