Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first customer arrives at 8:00 + 95 minutes = 9:35 a.m.

The second customer arrives at 9:35 + 08 minutes = 9:43 a.m.

According to Table 13-4, the service times for the first two customers are 4 and 3, respectively.

The first customer finishes transacting business at 9:39 a.m. (9:35 + 4)

The second customer finishes transacting business at 9:43 + 3 = 9:46 a.m.

Therefore, the second customer finishes transacting business at 8:46 a.m. after converting the time to the 12-hour clock format. Hence, the answer is option C.
