Respuesta :

Answer: 400 Shoppers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

156 people spent the night in Wal-mart

These 156 people represent 39% of total shoppers at Wal-mart

Suppose x is the total no of shoppers at Wal-mart

So, we can write

[tex]\Rightarrow 39\%\ \text{of}\ x=156\\\Rightarrow 0.39\times x=156\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{156}{0.39}=400\ \text{People}[/tex]
