Answer 1

To round the attendance numbers to the nearest hundred:

1. Friday's Attendance: 23,476

   • The last two digits are 76. Since 76 is 50 or more, we round up.
   • Rounded Friday: 23,500

2. Saturday's Attendance: 18,932

   • The last two digits are 32. Since 32 is less than 50, we round down.
   • Rounded Saturday: 18,900

3. Sunday's Attendance: 21,587

   • The last two digits are 87. Since 87 is 50 or more, we round up.
   • Rounded Sunday: 21,600

Now, we calculate the estimated total attendance for all three days:

• Estimated Total Attendance = Rounded Friday + Rounded Saturday + Rounded Sunday
  = 23,500 + 18,900 + 21,600
  = 64,000

Summary:

• Friday rounded: 23,500
• Saturday rounded: 18,900
• Sunday rounded: 21,600
• Estimated total attendance for all three days: 64,000
