Question

3648 people visited the fair on the first day. It rained on the second day so 1754 less people went to the fair on the second day, as compared with the first day. On the third day 2475 people more than those who visited on the second day, went to the book fair. Find on which day the maximum number of people visit the book fair?

Answer 1

Hint: We are given in the question that there are 3648 people visiting the fair on the first day. It is also given that on the second day 1754 less people visited as compared with the first day. So, subtract 1754 from 3648. Then, add the 2475 people with the total number of people on the second day to find the number of people on the third day, so that we can compare all the three days and find on which day there was the maximum number of people.

Complete Step by Step Solution:
From the question, we know that there were 3648 people who visited the fair on the first day.
Now, we have to find the total number of people on the second day. So, we are given that due to rain 1754 less people went to the fair when compared to the first day. Therefore, we will subtract 1754 from 3648 so, that we get the total number of peoples of second day –
\[ \Rightarrow 3648 - 1754 = 1894\]
According to the question, 2475 more people visited the fair compared to the second day. So, add 1894 with 2475 to get total number of people on third day –
$ \Rightarrow 1894 + 2475 = 4369$
Hence, now we will compare on which day maximum number of people visited the fair –
$\therefore 4369 > 3648 > 1894$
Hence, on the third day there were a maximum number of people who visited the book fair.

Note:
This question can be solved easily if he reads the question carefully and proceeds accordingly step by step. When the number is more than the previous number we use addition to satisfy it and when number is less than the previous number then we use subtraction to satisfy that statement.
