Respuesta :

Answer:

The customers who go though the process per week are 450

Explanation:

1. Short term segment:

number of cars rented per week is 200.

Hiring period is 0.5 weeks

Therefore number of customers is x?

Equation : 0.5X = 200

x=200/0.5

= 400 customers

2. Medium Term

cars hired = 100

Hiring period = 2 weeks

Number of customers = y

Equation 2y =100

y=100/2

y=50

The number of customer per week is 50

The total number of customers who go through the process per week is therefore 400+50 = 450

The number of Cheapest Car Rental customers at the Chicago Airport who pass through the rental process per week is 450.

Data and Calculations:

                                                               Short-term    Medium-term

The average period of rent                  0.5 weeks       2 weeks

The average number of cars/week     200 cars         100 cars

Number of customers per week          400 (200/05)  50 (100/2)

Total number of customers per week = 450 (400 + 50)

Thus, the total number of customers who go through the rental process per week is 450.
