Given that a state fair gives free admission to every 187th person that enters the fair.

We have the find the number of people who received free admission.

On Saturday, 5619 people attended the fair. The number of free admissions is equal to the quotient when 5619 is divided by 187.

The quotient is 30. So, on Saturday, the free admissions are 30.

On Sunday, 9257 people attended the fair. The number of free admissions is equal to the quotient when 9257 is divided by 187.

The quotient is 49. So, on Sunday, the free admissions are 49.

Thus, 79 people received free admission over two days.
