An internet service provider had a Total of 17,156 customers last year. They gained a net of $1,802
Customer's this year. They hope to reach at least 35,000 customers in 10 years. estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal.
They need approximately ____ more customers to reach their goals
To estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal, we can first calculate the net increase in customers per year:
$1,802 / 10 years = $180.2 per year
Next, we can determine the number of years it will take to reach the goal:
35,000 customers - 17,156 customers = 17,844 additional customers needed
17,844 additional customers / $180.2 per year = 98.96 years
Since it is not possible to have a fractional number of customers, we round up to the nearest whole number:
Approximately 99 more customers are needed to reach their goal.
