Question

If next week, he is expecting 1900 customers, about how many would you expect to pay with a credit card?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

To find out how many customers are expected to pay with a credit card next week, we first need to calculate the percentage of customers that used a credit card last week.

Total number of customers last week = 91 (cash) + 8 (debit) + 27 (credit) = 126 customers

Percentage of customers paying with a credit card last week = (27 / 126) * 100% = 21.43%

Now, we can estimate the number of customers expected to pay with a credit card next week.

Expected number of customers paying with a credit card next week = 21.43% of 1900 customers
= 0.2143 * 1900
≈ 407

Therefore, we would expect about 407 customers to pay with a credit card next week.
