Answer 1

Explanation:

On the first day, there were 120 shoppers.

Each day after that, the number of shoppers increases by 10% compared to the previous day. To calculate the number of shoppers each day, you can use the formula:

Number of Shoppers on Day n = Number of Shoppers on Day (n-1) * 1.10

Now let's calculate the number of shoppers for the first 7 days:

Day 1: 120 shoppers

Day 2: 120 * 1.10 = 132 shoppers

Day 3: 132 * 1.10 = 145.2 ≈ 145 shoppers

Day 4: 145 * 1.10 = 159.5 ≈ 160 shoppers

Day 5: 160 * 1.10 = 176 ≈ 176 shoppers

Day 6: 176 * 1.10 = 193.6 ≈ 194 shoppers

Day 7: 194 * 1.10 = 213.4 ≈ 213 shoppers

The total number of shoppers in the first 7 days is 120 + 132 + 145 + 160 + 176 + 194 + 213 ≈ 1140 shoppers. Rounded to the nearest integer, the total number of shoppers is 1140.
