1 answer

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.
