Question

A credit card company mailed off 3,917 credit offers on Wednesday and 5,685 on Thursday. 1,163 offers came back to them with bad addresses. How many people received the credit offer?

Answer 1

8,439 people received the credit offer.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of mails on Wednesday = 3,917

Number of mails on Thursday = 5,685

Total umber of mails sent out =

Number of mails on sent on Wednesday + Number of mails sent on Thursday

`=3917+5685\\=9602`

Number of mails that are returned = 1,163

Number of people receiving credit offer =

Total umber of mails sent out - Number of mails that are returned

`=9602-1163\\=8439`

Thus, 8,439 people received the credit offer.
