Answer:

The sporting goods website had 485 visitors on the first day

Explanation:

Let's answer the question correctly, this way:

Number of visitors to a sporting goods website today = 1,940 and 400% of the visitors on the first online day

How many visitors did the website have on the first day?

Let's use the Rule of Three Simple, this way:

x = Number of visitors to a sporting goods website on the first online day

Number of visitors Percentage

1,940 400%

x 100%

400 * x = 1,940 * 100

x = 194,000/400

x = 1,940/4 = 485

The sporting goods website had 485 visitors on the first day
