Paige only needs to sell to 17 more customers to receive a bonus. She works part time, so she only talks to 50 customers per day. With a sales ratio of 1:9, on which day will Paige qualify for a bonus?

Answer:

Paige will qualify for a bonus on her 4th day of work.

Explanation:

50 customers per day

needs to sell to 17

Ratio = 1:9

1:9

×17 ×17

17:153

Paige needs to see 153 customers.

153 ÷ 50 = 3.06 ≈ 4 (As the answer is not asking for the exact number of the day you round up to make a whole day without underestimating)

So, Paige will qualify for a bonus on her 4th day of work.
