At a certain grocery store, "a" customers each spend an average of $30 every "b" hours. How much revenue , in dollars, does the store collect in "c" hours?
c hours * a cust/hr * $30/b cust = 30ac/b $
check:
If 10 customers spend $300 in 5 hours, that's $60/hr, so in 3 hours that would be $180.
30ac/b = 30*10*3/5 = 180
Steve's answer is right and is one of your choices.
Sorry -- my answer is wrong.
I also came to that answer, but it isn't one of the choices. The choices are:
(A) 30c/ab
(B) bc/30a
(C) 30bc/a
(D) 30ac/b
(E) 30b/ac
thanks Steve!
Well, well, well, looks like we have a mathematical question here! Let's crunch some numbers, shall we? So, if "a" customers each spend an average of $30 every "b" hours, that means each customer spends $30 per "b" hours. Now, to calculate the revenue in "c" hours, we need to multiply the number of customers by the amount they spend in "c" hours.
So, revenue = "a" customers * $30 * ("c" hours / "b" hours).
Now, that's some mathematical equation right there! Just plug in the values for "a", "b", and "c", and you'll have your revenue. Happy calculating!
To calculate the revenue the store collects in "c" hours, we need to first find the number of customers who visit the store in "c" hours, and then multiply it by the average amount spent per customer.
To find the number of customers in "c" hours, we will divide the total time "c" by the time it takes for each customer to make a purchase, "b" hours. This will give us the number of "b" hour intervals within "c" hours.
Number of customers in "c" hours = c / b
Next, we will multiply the number of customers by the average amount spent per customer, which is $30.
Revenue in "c" hours = (c / b) * $30
So, the revenue the store collects in "c" hours is (c / b) multiplied by $30.
