Question

During a promotional weekend, a state fair gives a free admission to every 165th person that enters the fair. On Saturday, there were 7,303 people attending the fair. On Sunday, there were 7,126 people attending the fair. How many people received a free admission over the two days?

Answer 1

Answer: 87

Explanation:

If it is the 165th person each day

7303/165 = 44.26 ( so 44 free admissions on Saturday)

7126/165 = 43.19 (so 43 free admissions on Sunday)

87 free admissions over the two days

If 165th person where it can carry over from day to day

(7303 + 7126)/165 = 87.49

87 free admissions over the two days

Same answer this time, but could be different in a diferent problem.
