Question

On a particular Sunday an art

museum had 285 visitors and that was 20% of the total number of visitors for that week how many total visitors did the art museum have that week

Answer 1

To find the total number of visitors to the art museum for the week, divide the Sunday visitor count (285) by 0.2 (which represents 20%) and then multiply by 100 to get the total, which is 1,425 visitors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves finding the total number of visitors to the art museum based on the percentage given for a single day. If 285 visitors correspond to 20% of the total visitors for the week, we can determine the full 100% by dividing the number of visitors (285) by the percentage they represent (20%) and then multiplying by 100 to find the total number of visitors.

Step-by-Step Calculation:

Divide the number of visitors for Sunday by the decimal (285 / 0.2).

Multiply the result from step 2 by 100 to find the total number of visitors.

After performing these calculations, we find that the total number of visitors for the week is 1,425.

Answer 2

So, on that 1 day, the art museum had 285 visitors.

So, 285 visitors was 20% of the visitors for that week. (Calculator preferred, you'd do:) 285/0.20.

That would equal:

Your Answer:
1425 visitors.
