During a promotional weekend, a state fair gives a free admission to every 175th person who enters the fair. On Saturday, there were 6,742 people attending the fair. On Sunday, there were 5, 487 people attending the fair. How many people received a free admission over the two days? Please help answer thanks

first day, number of freebies = 6742/175 = appr 38.5

which means the 39th free person has not yet arrived
so 38 free passes
2nd day, number of freebies = 5487/175 = appr 31.3
so 31 free passe

total = 38+31 = 69

the answer is 69 I looked it up.

the answer is 69 I looked it up

Divide the total attendance by 175.

x= Saturday

y= Sunday

The process is x+y (6,742+5,487)÷175.

x= Saturday

y= Sunday

The process is x+y (6,742+5,487)÷175. If you do that, you will get 69.88 but I put 69.

To find out how many people received a free admission over the two days, we need to determine how many groups of 175 people there were.

First, let's find out how many groups of 175 people attended the fair on Saturday. We can divide the total number of attendees on Saturday (6,742) by 175:

6,742 ÷ 175 = 38.54

Since we can't have a fraction of a group, we round down to the nearest whole number. This means there were 38 groups of 175 people attending the fair on Saturday.

Next, let's find out how many groups of 175 people attended the fair on Sunday. We can repeat the process:

5,487 ÷ 175 = 31.34

Again, rounding down to the nearest whole number, we find that there were 31 groups of 175 people attending the fair on Sunday.

To calculate the total number of people who received a free admission over the two days, we add the number of groups on Saturday and Sunday:

38 + 31 = 69

So, a total of 69 people received a free admission over the two days.

does not help at all give me the answer now
