Question

There is a circus that is open on Friday and Saturday each week. The amount that went on Friday is 3 fourths the amount that went on Saturday. The total amount of people that attended this circus on both days is 840. How many people attended this circus on Saturday.

Answer 1

Answer: 480 people attended this circus on Saturday.

Explanation:

The amount of people that attended the Circus on Friday is 3 fourths the amount of people that attended on Saturday.

Let x represent amount of people that attended on Saturday. It means that the number that attended on Friday is 3x/4

The total amount of people that attended this circus on both days is 840. Therefore

x + 3x/4 = 840

4x + 3x = 3360

7x = 3360

x = 3360/7

x = 480
