Question

Last year, a local amusement park received 286,758 visitors. It was open every day of the year except 7 holidays. What was the average number of visitors to the park per day?

Answer 1

The average number of visitors to the park per day is calculated by dividing the total number of visitors in a year (286,758) by the total number of days the park was open (365 - 7 holidays = 358 days). The average visitors per day is 801.

To calculate the average number of visitors to the park per day, we need to divide the total number of visitors by the number of days the park was open. Given that the park received 286,758 visitors last year and was open every day except for 7 holidays, we can calculate the number of open days.

Days in a year: 365
Holidays: 7
Open days: 365 - 7 = 358 days

Now, we divide the total number of visitors by the open days:

Total visitors: 286,758
Open days: 358

Average visitors per day = Total visitors ÷ Open days
= 286,758 ÷ 358

Performing the division, we get:

Average visitors per day = 801
