A local music festival is held every year for three days. The three day attendance this year was 2700 people. The second day was rainy so only half the number of people that showed up the first day showed up the second day. The third day was the finale, so attendance was triple the original day. How many people attended the second day of the festival?
assistant
Define a variable ** Let x represent the attendance the first day
How many people showed up the second day? ** Second day: x/2
How many people showed up the third day? ** Third day: 3x
Write an equation ** Total:x+(x/2)+3x=<<2700=2700>>2700
Combine like terms ** (9/2)x=2700
Multiply by 2 ** 9x=5400
Divide by 9 ** x=<<600=600>>600
How many people showed up the second day? ** Second day:600/2=<<600/2=300>>300 people
