Answer 2

The total number of shoppers that visited the mall in the first 7 days is 234.

Explanation:

The number of customers at the new shopping mall on their first day of business was, X = 120.

It is provided that each day the number of shoppers is 10% more than the number of shoppers the day before.

This implies that the number of shoppers on the second day of the opening is:

Number of shoppers on the 2nd day = (120 × 1.10)

Then the number of shoppers on the third day of the opening will be:

Number of shoppers on the 3rd day = (120 × 1.10) × 1.10

And so on.

Compute the total number of shoppers that visited the mall in the first 7 days as follows:

`\text{Number of shoppers on the first 7 days} = 120 * (1.10)^(7)`

`=120* 1.9487171\\=233.846052\\\approx 234`

Thus, the total number of shoppers that visited the mall in the first 7 days is 234.
