Question

On Wednesday 72% of the customers who bought gas at a gas station made additional purchases. There were 250 customers who bought gas
How many of these 250 customers made additional purchases?

Answer 1

Answer:

180 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the total of customers. The total needed is the total of customers who bought gas at a gas station. We're going to assume that the 250 customers who bought gas is the total since:

a) The only store mentioned here is the gas station.

b) They haven't mentioned any other time-periods than Wednesday.

Using this, we do the math:

72% of total customers made additional purchases = 0.72

0.72 * 250 total customers = 180 customers who made additional purchase
