To determine the rate of change in the number of customers from Wednesday to Friday, we can use the formula for rate of change:
\[
\text{Rate of Change} = \frac{\text{Change in quantity}}{\text{Change in time}}
\]
Here, the number of customers on Wednesday is 425, and the number on Friday is 387.
1. Calculate the change in the number of customers:
\[
\text{Change in quantity} = \text{Customers on Friday} - \text{Customers on Wednesday} = 387 - 425 = -38
\]
2. The change in time between Wednesday and Friday is 2 days.
3. Now, calculate the rate of change:
\[
\text{Rate of Change} = \frac{-38}{2} = -19
\]
The rate of change in the number of customers from Wednesday to Friday is \(-19\) customers per day, indicating a decrease of 19 customers per day over that period.
\[
\text{Rate of Change} = \frac{\text{Change in quantity}}{\text{Change in time}}
\]
