Question

I need to increase the number of customers by 20% daily, I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift so now ill need to talk to how many customers per day?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of customer per day is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : I need to increase the number of customers by 20% daily, I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift.

To find : How many customers per day?

Solution :

We have an average of 8 customers.

Increase the number of customers by 20% daily.

i.e. increased number will be 20% of 8,

$20\%\times 8=0.2\times 8=1.60$

i.e. 1.60 customer per hour during an 8 hour shift.

So, $8+1.60=9.60$

Approximately the number of customer per day is 10.

Answer 2

Before we figure out how many customers you will need to talk per day to reach your goal, let's calculate what is 20% of how many customers you normally talk to a day.

current no. = 8

goal = 8 + 20%

20% = 8 x 0.20

(a percent is really just a fraction with the percent number over 100)

20% = 1.60

goal = 8 + 1.60

goal = 9.60

However, there is no such thing as .60 of a person so we will have to round up. You will need to talk to 10 customers per day.
