Question

A local coffee shop serves 2/9 as many customers as a shop run by a national coffee chain. The shop run by the chain serves 502 customers day. About how many customers does the local shop serve in a day

Answer 1

Answer:

about 112 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out  how many customers does the local shop serve in a day, multiply the fraction 2/9 by the number of customers that the shop run serve in a day

Let

x ----> the number of customers that the shop run serve in a day

y ----> the number of customers that the local shop serve in a day

$y=\frac{2}{9}x$

we have

x=502

substitute the value of x in the equation

$y=\frac{2}{9}(502)$

$y=111.6$

Round up

so

about 112 customers

Answer 2

The local shop serves about 112 customers in a day

Further explanation

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division
4. Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem.

This problem is about Percentage.

A local coffee shop serves 2/9 as many customers as a shop run by a national coffee chain.

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} = \frac{2}{9} \times \texttt{National Chain's customers}$

$\texttt{ }$

The shop run by the chain serves 502 customers day.

$\texttt{National Chain's customers} = 502$

$\texttt{ }$

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} = \frac{2}{9} \times \texttt{National Chain's customers}$

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} = \frac{2}{9} \times 502$

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} = 111\frac{5}{9}$

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} \approx 112$

$\texttt{ }$

Conclusion:

The local shop serves about 112 customers in a day
