Question

21.

Use the information given to answer the question.
Consider the information about the number of customers that select various frame
colors at a frame store one day.
• 15 customers select white frames.
• 30 customers select black frames.
• 45 customers select gold frames.
Part A
If there are a total of 2.200 customers that order from the frame store one month, what
is the best approximation for how many customers that month select a black frame?
A. 367 customers
B. 733 customers
C. 1, 100 customers
D. 1. 167 customers

Answer 1

B. 733 customers

Explanation:

15+30+45=90

since 30 people select a black frame, 1/3 of the customers picked black frames. If this data is consistent through the month (which we have to assume it is) then that means 1/3 of customers select a black frame on average. 1/3 of 2,200 is about 733, so we can assume, using the data given, that about 733 customers selected black frames! :)
