Question

Susan had 87 customers purchase items at her store over the weekend.

The total sales were $3,562. About how much did each customer spend
on average?

Answer 1

average spent per customer = total sales / number of customers

average spent per customer = $3,562 / 87 = $40.82

Answer 2

87(x) = 3,562

Solve for x

divide by 87 on both sides

Answer x = about 41

on average each costumer spent about 41 dollars,
