Final answer:

To increase the number of customers you talk to daily by 20%, you will need to calculate 20% of the current number of customers you talk to and add it to the original number.

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase the number of customers you talk to daily by 20%, you will need to calculate 20% of the current number of customers you talk to daily and add it to the original number. In this case, you talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8-hour shift, which means you talk to 8 x 8 = 64 customers per day. To increase this number by 20%, you need to calculate 20% of 64, which is 0.20 x 64 = 12.8. Round this number to the nearest whole number to get an increase of 13 customers. Finally, add this increase to the original number of customers to find the new number of customers you need to talk to per day: 64 + 13 = 77 customers per day.
