Question

The table below shows the number of customers that visited a cafe and the

total amount of money spent at the cafe in each of the months from January
to April.
In May, the number of customers increased by 16% compared to April, and the
total amount of money spent decreased by 12% compared to April.
Work out the average amount of money spent per customer in May.
Give your answer in pounds (£) to the nearest 1p.

Answer 1

Answer:4.74

Explanation:

6800 x 1.16 = 7,888

42,500x0.88= 37,400

37,400/7,888 = 4.74 (rounded to nearest penny)

Answer 2

To the nearest 1p, the average amount of money spent per customer in May is £6.73.

To calculate the average amount of money spent per customer in May, we need to know the total amount of money spent and the number of customers.

The total amount of money spent in April is £49,550.

The number of customers in May increased by 16% compared to April, which means there were:

6400 + (6400 * 0.16)

= 7344 customers in May.

Therefore, the average amount of money spent per customer in May is £49,550 / 7344 = £6.72.

To the nearest 1p, the average amount of money spent per customer in May is £6.73.
