An internet service provider had a total of 17,156 customers last year. They gained a net of 1,802 customers this year. They hope to reach at least 35,000 customers in ten years. Estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal
The answer is 16,000.
They are looking for an estimate and not an exact number.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's try to calculate this again.
Currently, the internet service provider has 17,156 customers. They hope to reach at least 35,000 customers in ten years.
To estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal, we need to calculate the total number of customers they need to gain in ten years.
The net gain in customers this year was 1,802. To estimate the future growth, we can assume a constant yearly growth rate.
So, the total number of customers they need to gain in ten years is: 35,000 - 17,156 = 17,844.
Therefore, the internet service provider needs to gain approximately 17,844 customers to reach their goal of 35,000 customers in ten years.

Apologies for the previous incorrect responses. Let me calculate the estimated number of customers the internet service provider needs to reach their goal correctly this time.
Last year, the internet service provider had 17,156 customers. Over the past year, they gained a net of 1,802 customers. Their goal is to reach at least 35,000 customers in ten years.
To estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal, we first need to calculate the total gain in customers over the ten years.
The net gain in customers this year was 1,802. Since there are ten years in total, the total gain in customers over the ten years would be 1,802 * 10 = 18,020 customers.
Adding the total gain in customers over the ten years to the customers they had last year, we get: 17,156 + 18,020 = 35,176.
Therefore, the internet service provider needs to have approximately 35,176 customers to reach their goal of 35,000 customers in ten years.
