To find out approximately how many customers the local coffee shop serves in a day, we first need to calculate the number of customers served by the national coffee chain.
The problem tells us that the national coffee chain serves 502 customers a day.
Next, we are given that the local coffee shop serves 2/9 as many customers as the national coffee chain. To find out the number of customers served by the local shop, we can find 2/9 of 502.
To calculate this, we can set up the following proportion:
2/9 = x/502
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
2 * 502 = 9 * x
1004 = 9x
Now, divide both sides by 9:
1004/9 = x
Approximately 111.555 = x
Rounding this number to the nearest whole number, we find that the local coffee shop serves around 112 customers in a day.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) 112.
