The store owner determines that, during business hours, approximately 84 shoppers per hour make a purchase and each of these shoppers spend an average of 5 minutes in the checkout line.

Let,

r is shoppers/minute

T is average time spend by shoppers in minutes

N average number of shoppers.

r = 84 / 60

And the value of

T = 5

So, the average number of shoppers waiting at checkout is calculated as,

N = r x T

N = (84/60) x 5

N = (84/12) x 1

N = 7

Therefore, the average number of shoppers waiting at checkout is 7.
