Eliezer Werner · Answer 1

C) 24 customers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

First is to apply the corresponding formula, which would be the following:

U = C / (SR * 2)

We know that the utilization work is 75 = 0.75, the customers are 36, therefore, it is only to find the service rate equation, as follows:

SR = C / (U * 2) = 36 / (0.75 * 2)

SR = 24 customers per hour.
