A car rental company sells accident insurance to 22% of its customers. Out of 640 customers, about how

many customers are predicted to purchase insurance?
It is predicted that
customers will buy insurance out of 640 customers.

Answer 1

To find the number of customers predicted to purchase insurance, multiply the percentage of customers who purchase insurance by the total number of customers. In this case, about 141 customers are predicted to purchase insurance out of 640 customers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of customers predicted to purchase insurance, we need to multiply the percentage of customers who purchase insurance by the total number of customers. In this case, the car rental company sells accident insurance to 22% of its customers, so we can calculate the predicted number of customers by multiplying 22% (or 0.22) by 640:

Predicted number of customers = 0.22 * 640 = 140.8

Since we can't have a fraction of a customer, we must round the number to the nearest whole number. Therefore, about 141 customers are predicted to purchase insurance out of 640 customers.
