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) They need approximately ___ more customers to reach their goal.

Answer 1

To estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal, we can add the number of customers they gained this year to the number of customers they had last year: 17,156 customers + 1,802 customers = 18,958 customers.

Therefore, they need approximately 35,000 customers - 18,958 customers = 16,042 more customers to reach their goal.
