300

Since participants have an equal chance of receiving each type of coupon, the 900 people would be evenly distributed among the three activities. Therefore, 1/3 of the participants would be expected to receive a coupon for sleigh rides.

900 x 1/3 = 300

300 participants would be expected to receive a coupon for sleigh rides.
