To estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal, we need to consider the net gain of customers per year.
If they gained 1,802 customers this year, we can estimate that they gain an average of 1,802/1 = 1,802 customers per year.
To reach their goal of 35,000 customers in ten years, they will need to gain a total of 35,000 - 17,156 = 17,844 more customers.
Dividing the total number of additional customers needed by the number of customers gained per year, we get:
17,844/1,802 ≈ 9.9
Therefore, they need approximately 10 more customers (rounding up) to reach their goal.
