Question

During a promotional weekend a state fair gives a free admission to every 175th Person who enters the fair on Saturday there were 6742 people attending the fair on Sunday there were 5487 people attending the fair how many people receive a free admission Over the two days

Answer 1

69

Explanation:

69 people

Answer 2

69

Explanation:

If every 175th person gets free admission, that means

175th

175 * 2 = 350th

175 * 3 = 525th

person gets free admission and so on...

This basically means "how many 175s are there is 6742 (for first day) and 5487 (for 2nd day)?"

We would need to divide and see the WHOLE number, not the fractional(decimal) amount remaining. So

1st Day:

6742/175 = 38.53

This means 38 people will get free admission

2nd Day:

5487/175 = 31.35

This means 31 people will get free admission

In the 2 days, total of 38 + 31 = 69 people will get free admission
