The average time in hours that a customer spends in the store is given as: 1.167 hours

<h3>How to solve for the time spent in the store</h3>

From available data, the number of people that visited the store = 4200

Number of customer that is in the store = 350

The number of hours that the store is open = 14 hours

The hour rate = 4200/14

= 300 customers per hour

The average time that the customer spends = customer in store / rate

= 350/300

= 1.167 hours This is approximately 70 minutes
