Number of seats = 140
Seat turnover = Number of guests served / Number of seats
Seat turnover for each meal period = Number of guests served in that meal period / Total number of seats
So, seat turnover for Lunch for Sunday = 0, since it is closed, for Monday = 160/140 = 1.14, for Tuesday = 170/140 = 1.21, and so on.
Seat turnover for Dinner for Sunday = 180/140 = 1.29, for Monday = 110/140 = 0.79, for Tuesday = 112/140 = 0.80 and so on.
Seat turnover for each day can be calculated as the sum of seat turnover for Lunch + Seat turnover for dinner.
Alternatively, total guests served each day for lunch + dinner can be divided by 140.
Ans. B. Average number of customers per day = Total number of customers in the week / No. of days in a week,i.e.,7
So, total number of customers in a week(7 days) = 1985
Average number of customers per day = 1985/7
= 284
Average seat turnover for the week for Lunch = Total number of guests served lunch during the week / 140
= 895/140
= 6.39
Average seat turnover for the week for Dinner = Total number of guests served dinner during the week / 140
= 1090/140
=6.81
