In a doctor’s office, an average of 94% of the clients pay on the day of the appointment. If the office has 600 clients per month, how many are expected not to pay on the day of the appointment? If 40 clients do not pay on the day of their appointment in a month, did more or fewer than the average not pay?

You would multiply 84 by 6 because 100 times 6 is 600 and it gives you 564 so if 40 miss it is fewer

36 people will not pay, strictly speaking.. 0.06 x600 is 36. this means more people than average didnt pay on the day of the appointment. hope this helps!
