Question

The attendance for the last 4 years at a country fair is shown in the table. This year, the first 20% of people attending the fair will receive a raffle ticket. Of the people who receive raffle tickets, 1/3 will receive a small prize.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) About 14,500 people will attend. Since each year brings an increase of at least 1,000 people, 14,500 (which is 1,196 more than the previous year) is a reasonable estimate for Year 5 Attendance.

B) Approximately 967 people will receive a prize at the fair this year. Of the 14,500 people in attendance, 20% of them (2900 people) will get a ticket, and 1/3 of those with tickets (967 people) will get a prize.
