If next week, he is expecting 600 customers, about how many would you expect to pay with a credit card?Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

In order to estimate the number of customers paying with a credit card, first let's calculate the total number of customers in the last week:

[tex]65+26+8=99[/tex]

Now, to do the estimate, we can use the following rule of three:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{total customers}\to\text{ credit card} \\ 99\to8 \\ 600\to x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Let's write the following proportion and solve it for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{99}{600}=\frac{8}{x} \\ x\cdot99=600\cdot8 \\ x=\frac{600\cdot8}{99} \\ x=48.48 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore we can estimate that 48 customers will use credit card.
