What seasonal relatives would describe this situation?(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Business on Wednesday = 100 – (20 + 27 + 31 + 20) = 22 % business

Number of seasons = 4 seasons

Seasonal relative = (percent of business in a season x 4) x (1/100)

Wed

22%

(22% x 4)/100 = 0.88

Thus

20%

(20% x 4)/100 = 0.80

Fri

27%

(27% x 4)/100 = 1.08

Sat

31%

(31% x 4)/100 = 1.24
