A beach in Chennai has an average of 650 visitors on Sundays and 300 on other days. If a month of 29 days begins with Sunday, then, what is the average no of visitors per day in the month? (approximately) Correct Answer 360

Given:

Visitors in Sunday = 650

Visitors in other days = 300

Days in given month = 29

Formula:

Average no of visitors per day = total visitors in month / days in month

Calculation:

Since the month begins with a Sunday, there will be five Sundays in the month.

Then the number of visitors on 5 Sundays = 650 × 5

The number of visitors on remaining 24 days = 300 × 24

Required average = (650 × 5 + 300 × 24)/29

⇒ (3250 + 7200)/29 = 360.34 = 360 (approximately)

∴ The average number of visitors per day is 360.
