• On Saturday, 983 people visited the mall.
• On Sunday, 1,033 people visited the mall.

How many people received a gift card?

Answer 1

on saturday 12 ppl, on sunday 12 ppl

Explanation:

if 100 ppl are visiting then 80th person will receive gift. thats 100/80 and quotient is 1. so one person in first 100. 2 ppl in 200 ppl, 3 ppl in 300..and on.

980/80 will have quotient of 12. so 12 ppl on saturday

same way 1033/80 will have quotient of 12.

totally 24

Answer 2

24

Explanation:

983 / 80 to find the amount on saturday

983 / 80 = 12.2875

1033 / 80 to find the amount on sunday

1033 / 80 = 12.9125

add the whole numbers together as there was 12 lots of 80 people on both days
12+12 = 24
