To estimate the number of customers the internet service provider needs to reach their goal, we need to determine the net number of customers they acquire per year on average.
The net gain in customers this year is 1,802, and there are 10 years until their goal. Therefore, on average, they gain an additional 1,802/10 = 180.2 customers per year.
Starting with 17,156 customers last year, if they gain an average of 180.2 customers per year for 10 years, they will have an additional 180.2 * 10 = <<180.2*10=1802>>1802 customers.
Adding the additional customers to the current total, they will have 17,156 + 1802 = <<17156+1802=18958>>18958 customers in 10 years.
To reach their goal of 35,000 customers, they still need approximately 35,000 - 18,958 = <<35000-18958=16042>>16,042 more customers.
an internet service provider had a total of 17,156 customers last year. They gained a net of 1,802 customers this year. they hope to reach at least 35,000 customers in 10 years.

Apologies for the error. Let's recalculate:
To estimate the number of customers the internet service provider needs to reach their goal, we need to determine the net number of customers they acquire per year on average.
The net gain in customers this year is 1,802, and there are 10 years until their goal. Therefore, on average, they gain an additional 1,802/10 = 180.2 customers per year.
Starting with 17,156 customers last year, if they gain an average of 180.2 customers per year for 10 years, they will have an additional 180.2 * 10 = <<180.2*10=1802>>1802 customers.
Adding the additional customers to the current total, they will have 17,156 + 1,802 = <<17156+1802=18958>>18958 customers in 10 years.
To reach their goal of 35,000 customers, they still need approximately 35,000 - 18,958 = <<35000-18958=16042>>16042 more customers.
