PSLE The bar graph shows the number of visitors to a safari park from Monday to Friday last week.
- What was the average number of visitors from Monday to Friday last week?
- The average number of visitors on Saturday and Sunday was 88 less than the average number of visitors from Monday to Friday. If the number of visitors on Saturday was 500, how many visitors were there on Sunday?
(a)
Total number of visitors from Monday to Friday last week
= 780 + 520 + 580 + 720 + 680
= 3280
Average number of visitors from Monday to Friday last week
= 3280 ÷ 5
= 656
(b)
Average number of visitors on Saturday and Sunday
= 656 - 88
= 568
Total number of visitors on Saturday and Sunday
= 2 x 568
= 1136
Number of visitors on Sunday
= 1136 - 500
= 636
Answer(s): (a) 656; (b) 636
