A website received 9,347 visits during the first month of its launch. The third month witnessed three times the number of visits than the second month. If the website received 13,455 visits over the three month period, how many visits did it witness during the second month?

Answer 1

Let the number of visits in the second month be denoted as \( x \).

According to the problem:

• The website received 9,347 visits in the first month.
• The third month witnessed three times the number of visits in the second month, which means it had \( 3x \).
• The total number of visits over the three months is given as 13,455.

We can set up the following equation based on this information:

\[ 9347 + x + 3x = 13455 \]

Combining like terms results in:

\[ 9347 + 4x = 13455 \]

To isolate \( 4x \), subtract 9347 from both sides:

\[ 4x = 13455 - 9347 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ 4x = 4108 \]

Now, divide both sides by 4 to solve for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{4108}{4} = 1027 \]

Thus, the number of visits during the second month is:

\[ \boxed{1027} \]
