Question

I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift and need to increase the amount of customers i help by 20%, how many customers do i need to help every hour to achieve this

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of customer needed to achieve is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of customer per hour = 8

The time taken = 8 hours

The rate of increase = 20 %

Let The increase in number of customer after 20 % increment = x

So ,  The number of customer after n hours = initial number × $(1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{n}$

or, The number of customer after 8 hours = 8 ×  $(1+\dfrac{\textrm 20}{100})^{8}$

or, The number of customer after 8 hours = 8 × 4.2998

∴The number of customer after 8 hours = 34.39 ≈ 34

Hence The number of customer needed to achieve is 34  answer
