"Our customer retention rate has decreased 10% from last quarter's goal of 250 consumers retained. We need to increase our current rate by at least 16% to meet this quarter's goal."
Employee: "That means our target is __________ consumers retained."

Respuesta :

1. multiply 250 by 10% (250 * .1= 25)
2. Then subtract 25 from 250 (250 -25= 225)
2. Then multiply 225 by 16% (225 * .16 = 36)
3. Add 225 + 36 = 261. 
4. 261 is your final answer

Using proportions, it is found that the correct sentence is:

  • "That means our target is 261 consumers retained."

Decreased 10% from last quarter's goal of 250 consumers retained, hence, the number of customers is:

[tex]0.9(250) = 225[/tex]

The current rate has to be increased by 16%, hence, the goal is:

[tex]1.16(225) = 261[/tex]

Hence, the sentence is:

"That means our target is 261 consumers retained."
