Answer:
1.67 people per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
it's a proportion, basically. 5/3 = x/1, solve and you get 1.67. BTW if only five people enter in the span of 3 minutes, then this store needs to invest in advertising more, because i've seen CVS's with a better ratio than that. and that's sad!
ok
1/2
divide both sides by 2
1. $450
2. $128
1. new price = .4 (.4 * original price x)
72 = .16x
x = 450
2. new price = .75 (.75 * original price x)
72 = .5625x
x = 128
