On Saturday, 401401 people went to The Youth Wing, 376376 people went to Social Issues, and 320320 went to Fiction and Literature.\newlineOn Sunday, the library had 500500 total visitors. Based on what Alyssa had recorded on Saturday, about how many people should be expected to go to Fiction and Literature? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.\newlineAnswer:
  1. Calculate Total Visitors on Saturday: Calculate the total number of visitors on Saturday.\newlineTotal visitors on Saturday = Visitors to The Youth Wing + Visitors to Social Issues + Visitors to Fiction and Literature\newlineTotal visitors on Saturday = 401+376+320401 + 376 + 320\newlineTotal visitors on Saturday = 10971097
  2. Calculate Proportion for Fiction: Calculate the proportion of visitors who went to Fiction and Literature on Saturday.\newlineProportion for Fiction and Literature =Visitors to Fiction and LiteratureTotal visitors on Saturday= \frac{\text{Visitors to Fiction and Literature}}{\text{Total visitors on Saturday}}\newlineProportion for Fiction and Literature =3201097= \frac{320}{1097}\newlineProportion for Fiction and Literature ≈0.2917\approx 0.2917 (rounded to four decimal places)
  3. Estimate Visitors to Fiction on Sunday: Use the proportion to estimate the number of visitors to Fiction and Literature on Sunday.\newlineExpected visitors to Fiction and Literature on Sunday = Proportion for Fiction and Literature ×\times Total visitors on Sunday\newlineExpected visitors to Fiction and Literature on Sunday ≈0.2917×500\approx 0.2917 \times 500\newlineExpected visitors to Fiction and Literature on Sunday ≈145.85\approx 145.85
  4. Round Expected Visitors: Round the expected number of visitors to the nearest whole number.\newlineRounded expected visitors to Fiction and Literature on Sunday = 146146 (rounded from 145.85145.85)
