Hint: We use the concept of writing the numbers from word form to numerical form. Write all the number of visitors on three days and add the number of visitors in the end.
* In word form, the words lakhs denote 1,00,000 ; ten thousands denote 10,000 ; thousands denote 1000 ; hundreds denote 100 ; tens denote 10 and ones denote 1 where all these are just the idea of places given to the digits.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We are given three counts of visitors on three days of the week i.e. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
For Sunday:
We are given that number of visitors are: Two lakh sixty-three thousand nine hundred and fifty-three
We write the number in numeric form
Two lakh sixty-three thousand nine hundred and fifty-three will be written as
 2,00,000+63,000+900+53=2,63,953
For Monday:
We are given that number of visitors are: four lakh and thirty-three thousand
We write the number in numeric form
Four lakh and thirty-three thousand will be written as
 4,00,000+33,000=4,33,000
For Tuesday:
We are given that number of visitors are: three lakh twenty thousand six hundred and fifty-six
We write the number in numeric form
Three lakh twenty thousand six hundred and fifty-six can be written as
 3,00,000+20,000+600+56=3,20,656
Now we add the number of visitors obtained from three days
  Total number of visitors =2,63,953+4,33,000+3,20,656
Calculate the sum in right hand side of the equation
  Total number of visitors =10,17,609

Total number of visitors for three days is 10,17,609.

Note:
Many students make mistake of writing the numerical value for the number of visitors on Tuesday wrong as they get confused when there is nothing given for thousands place, keep in mind if we are given no value for any place we just write the value zero, also it states twenty thousand in ten thousands place so we can directly write twenty only.
