A theme park had 1099 vistiors in three day.

there were twicw as many vistiors on saturday.
than on friday.there were 234 more vistiors on sunday than on saturday.
how many visitors

Answer 1

Number of visitors on Friday = 173

Number of visitors on Saturday = 346

Number of visitors on Sunday = 580

Explanation:

Total number of visitors over 3 days = 1099

Let x = number of visitors on Friday

If there were twice as many visitors on Saturday than on Friday, then

⇒ number of visitors on Saturday = 2x

If there were 234 more visitors on Sunday than on Saturday, then

⇒ number of visitors on Sunday = 2x + 234

Create an expression for the total number of visitors and solve for x:

⇒ x + 2x + 2x + 234 = 1099

⇒ 5x + 234 = 1099

⇒ 5x = 865

⇒ x = 173

Substitute found value of x into the expressions for each day:

⇒ Number of visitors on Friday = 173

⇒ Number of visitors on Saturday = 2 x 173 = 346

⇒ Number of visitors on Sunday = (2 x 173) + 234 = 580
