In winter:

The ratio of daily customers to weekly customers = 1:5.

In Spring:

The ratio of daily customers to weekly customers = 4:2.

Number of weekly customer in the winter are 125.

Number of weekly customers are 5 times than the number of daily customers in winter.

Therefore, number of daily customers in winter = 125/5 = 25 customers.

Number of daily customers were there in the spring = 4 * 25 = 100 customers.
