Question

There were 75 customers in the store at 1:00. The store must be emptied of customers when it closes at five how many customers must leave the store between four and five

Answer 1

Assuming that the same amount leaves every hour, 18 or 19 would have to leave in that hour.

Explanation:

To find this, simply divide the number of customers (75) by the amount of hours in that time frame (4).

75/4 = 18.75

Since we can have .75 people, we can either round up or down.
