Question

During a promotional weekend, a state fair gives a free admission to every 188th person that enters the fair. On Saturday, there were 6,737 people attending the fair. On Sunday, there were 8,669 people attending the fair. How many people received a free admission over the two days?

Answer 1

Answer: 81 people

Explanation:

Number of people that attended fair on Saturday = 6737

Number of people that got free admission = 6737/188 = 35.8.

Free admission on Saturday = 35

Number of people that attended fair on Saturday = 8669

Number of people that got free admission = 8669/188 = 46.1

Free admission on Sunday = 46

The people who received a free admission over the two days will be:

= 35 + 46

= 81 people
