Question

last year,a local amusement park received 286,758 visitors.It was open every day of the year except 7 holidays. what was the average number of visitors to the park per day?

Answer 1

A normal year has 365.25 days.

We subtract the holidays as follows :

365.25 - 7 = 358.25days.

The total number of visitors = 286758

The average number of people per day is :

286758/358.25 = 800.44

Since we cannot have the number of people as decimals, we take the integer part.

Therefore the average number of people per day is :

= 800 people.
