Respuesta :

Answer:

8,439 people received the credit offer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of mails on Wednesday = 3,917

Number of mails on Thursday = 5,685

Total umber of mails sent out =

Number of mails on sent on Wednesday + Number of mails sent on Thursday

[tex]=3917+5685\\=9602[/tex]

Number of mails that are returned = 1,163

Number of people receiving credit offer =

Total umber of mails sent out - Number of mails that are returned

[tex]=9602-1163\\=8439[/tex]

Thus, 8,439 people received the credit offer.
