Question

A local petting zoo had a total of 98,464 visitors last year. The zoo was open every day except thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. What was the average number of visitors per day

Answer 1

The average number of visitors per day is 272.

Explanation:

Total number of visitors in the zoo in a year = 98,464

Now,we know that 1 YEAR = 365 DAYS

Also, the zoo was closed on thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve

So, the Number of days zoo was open = Total Days in year - 3 days

= 365 - 3 = 362 days

⇒Number of visitors in 362 days = 98,464

So,
`\textrm{Number of visitor per day} =  \frac{\textrm{Total number of visitors in 352 days}}{\textrm{352 days}}`

`= (98,464)/(362)  = 272`

or, the number of people visiting per day is 272.

Hence, the average number of visitors per day is 272.
