Visitors

On the first holiday weekend, 1,250 visitors came to the swimming pool in Zdice. Sunday was less pleasant, so only two thirds as many visitors came as on Saturday. How many visitors came on Saturday?

Final Answer:

a =  750

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a+b=1250 \\ b=2/3\cdot a \\ a+\frac{2}{3}\cdot a=1250 \\ a+2/3\cdot a=1250 \\ 5a=3750 \\ a=\frac{3750}{5}=750 \\ a=750 \\ \text{ Verifying Solution: } \\ b=\frac{2}{3}\cdot a=\frac{2}{3}\cdot 750=\frac{2\cdot 750}{3}=\frac{1500}{3}=500 \end{gathered}$$
