Question

On average, for every 100 customers at a coffee shop, 25 customers, or 25%of the customers come in after 5:00 pm. Last Tuesday, a coffee shop had a total of 84 customers. How many customers would you expect came I. after 5:00pm.​

Answer 1

If 25% of customers come in after 5:00 pm, then we can expect that 0.25 times the total number of customers come in after 5:00 pm.

Let's use this to find how many customers we expect to come in after 5:00 pm on last Tuesday:

Number of customers who came in after 5:00 pm = 0.25 * 84 = 21

Therefore, we would expect that 21 customers came in after 5:00 pm on last Tuesday.
