Question

At a restaurant, customers can dine inside or take-out food. On an average day, 400 customers

are served inside, and 120 customers order take-out. After how many days will the restaurant
have served 2600 customers. Justify your reasoning.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find out how many days it will take for the restaurant to serve 2600 customers, you can set up an equation based on the average number of customers served each day.

On an average day, the restaurant serves 400 customers inside and 120 customers through take-out, for a total of 400 + 120 = 520 customers served each day.

Now, to reach 2600 customers, you can set up an equation:

Total customers served = (Customers served each day) x (Number of days)

2600 = 520 x Number of days

To find the number of days, you can divide both sides by 520:

Number of days = 2600 / 520 = 5

So, it will take the restaurant 5 days to serve 2600 customers based on the average number of customers served each day.
