i think C
because it increases by 2 each week, by 6th week it is 11

directrix · Answer

The number of customers appears to increase two each week. As the week increases by 1, the number of customers increases by 2, a constant rate of change. C = 2W -1 where C is the number of cutomers and W is the week number where w is greater than or = 1 and an integer.

In the 6th week, May should have 2(6) - 1 = 11 customers --> C
