Before we figure out how many customers you will need to talk per day to reach your goal, let's calculate what is 20% of how many customers you normally talk to a day.
current no. = 8
goal = 8 + 20%
20% = 8 x 0.20
(a percent is really just a fraction with the percent number over 100)
20% = 1.60
goal = 8 + 1.60
goal = 9.60
However, there is no such thing as .60 of a person so we will have to round up. You will need to talk to 10 customers per day.
Answer:
The number of customer per day is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : I need to increase the number of customers by 20% daily, I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift.
To find : How many customers per day?
Solution :
We have an average of 8 customers.
Increase the number of customers by 20% daily.
i.e. increased number will be 20% of 8,
[tex]20\%\times 8=0.2\times 8=1.60[/tex]
i.e. 1.60 customer per hour during an 8 hour shift.
So, [tex]8+1.60=9.60[/tex]
Approximately the number of customer per day is 10.
