A department store will place a sale item in a special display for a one-day sale. Previous experience suggests that 16 percent of all customers who pass such a special display will purchase the item. If 2,749 customers will pass the display on the day of the sale, and if a one-item-per-customer limit is placed on the sale item, how many units of the sale item should the store stock in order to have at most a 1 percent chance of running short of the item on the day of the sale? Assume here that customers make independent purchase decisions. (Round your answer to nearest whole number.)
