D 2,050

Explanation: Since 82% of customers who purchase an item on sale also purchase at least one item not on sale, we can determine the number of customers who will also purchase at least one item not on sale by multiplying 2,500 (number of customers who purchase an item on sale) by 82%:

2,500 * 0.82 = 2,050

Therefore, 2,050 customers will also purchase at least one item not on sale.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's recalculate.

If 82% of customers who purchase an item on sale also purchase at least one item not on sale, then we can find the number of customers who will also purchase at least one item not on sale by multiplying 2,500 customers (who purchased an item on sale) by 0.82:

2,500 * 0.82 = 2,050

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D) 2,050

Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy.
