To estimate the number of customers the internet service provider needs to reach their goal, we need to calculate the total number of customers they will have in ten years.
First, we add the net gain of customers this year to the total number of customers last year:
17,156 + 1,802 = 18,958
Next, we need to calculate the average net gain of customers per year by dividing the net gain over ten years:
1,802 / 10 = 180.2
Finally, we add the average net gain per year to the current number of customers:
18,958 + 180.2 = 19,138.2
Therefore, the internet service provider needs to reach approximately 19,138 customers to reach their goal of 35,000 in ten years.
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 ten years. Estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal.(1 point)

To estimate the number of customers the internet service provider needs to reach their goal, we need to calculate the total number of customers they will have in ten years.
First, we need to find the net gain per year. This can be calculated by dividing the net gain of customers this year by the number of years:
Net Gain per Year = 1,802 / 1 = 1,802
Next, we need to calculate the number of customers they will have in ten years. This can be calculated by adding the net gain per year to the total number of customers last year:
Total Customers in Ten Years = 17,156 + (1,802 * 10) = 17,156 + 18,020 = 35,176
Finally, we compare the number of customers they will have in ten years (35,176) with their goal of at least 35,000 customers. Since 35,176 is already greater than 35,000, they have already surpassed their goal. Therefore, the estimated number of customers they need to reach their goal is 35,176.
