Question

Ms. Thompson opened a new clothing store. During the first week, 1,108 customers visited the new store. The second week, there was a big sale and 421 more customers visited the store than during the first week. How many total customers visited the store during the first two weeks?

Answer 1

To find the total number of customers who visited the store during the first two weeks, we can follow these steps:

1. Find the number of customers who visited in the second week.
- First week customers: 1,108
- Additional customers in the second week: 421
- Therefore, customers in the second week = 1,108 + 421 = 1,529.

2. Add the number of customers from the first and second weeks to get the total.
- Total customers = First week customers + Second week customers
- Total customers = 1,108 + 1,529 = 2,637.

Thus, the total number of customers who visited the store during the first two weeks is **2,637**.
