LaVilla is a village in the Italian Alps. Given its enormous popularity among Swiss, German, Austrian, and Italian skiers, all of its beds are always booked in the winter season and there are, on average, 1,400 skiers in the village. On average, skiers stay in LaVilla for 12 days. How many new skiers are arriving, on average, in LaVilla every day? Note: Round your final answer to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

The average number of new skiers arriving at LaVilla every day is approximately 117, obtained by dividing the total number of skiers (1,400) by the average stay of skiers (12 days).

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of new skiers arriving in LaVilla every day can be calculated by the total number of skiers in the village divided by the average stay of skiers. The total number of skiers is 1,400 and they stay in the village for an average of 12 days. Thus, to find the number of new skiers arriving daily on average, we simply divide 1,400 by 12.

This calculation: 1400/12 equals approximately 116.67, but since we need to round to the nearest integer, the number of new skiers arriving daily in LaVilla is, on average, 117.
