SHe found that 62% pf her customers looked through that rack. The next day, she oved the rack of new items to a different location on the floor. Here's what she found:

Total customers: 75
Number of customers looking at new items: 60
How did the movement of the rack affect the number of customers looking at the new items?
It decreased by 2%
It decreased by 8%
It increased by 13%
It increased by 18 %

Answer 1

Hey there! :D

We know that the first place the rack was made it so 62% of the customers viewed the rack.

60/75 <== fraction of people that saw the second rack

60/75= 0.8

0.8=80%

80%-62%= 18%

It increased by 18%. <== the answer

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

divide 60 with 75 (75 being total, and 60 being people actually viewing new item)

60/75 = 0.8, or 80% (move decimal point to the right two places)

80% = 80/100
62% = 62/100

80/100 - 62/100 = 18/100



It increased by 18 % is your answer

hope this helps
