Answer:

There were 480 customers on Friday.

To calculate the increase from Thursday to Friday, we can use the following formula:

```

Increase = (percent increase / 100) * starting value

```

In this case, the percent increase is 1/5, and the starting value is 400 customers. So, the increase is:

```

Increase = (1/5 / 100) * 400 = 8

```

This means that there were 8 more customers on Friday than there were on Thursday. So, the total number of customers on Friday is:

```

Total = Starting value + Increase

= 400 + 8

= 480

```

If Thursday had 400 customers, then Friday had a 1/5 increase from Thursday, which means Friday had 1 + 1/5 = 6/5 times as many customers as Thursday. To find out how many customers Friday had, we can multiply 400 by 6/5:

400 x 6/5 = 480

Therefore, Friday had 480 customers.
