Shane is the manager of an amusement park. During the first week of summer, 2,308 visitors came to the park. During the second week, 3,089 more visitors came than during the first week. How many visitors came during the first two weeks of the summer?

Answer 1

To find out the total number of visitors during the first two weeks of summer, we first need to determine the number of visitors in the second week.

We know that:

• Visitors in the first week = 2,308
• Additional visitors in the second week = 3,089

Now, we can calculate the number of visitors in the second week:

\[ \text{Visitors in the second week} = \text{Visitors in the first week} + \text{Additional visitors} \] \[ \text{Visitors in the second week} = 2,308 + 3,089 \] To perform this addition, we can break it down:

First, we add the numbers together:

• Adding the thousands: 2,000 + 3,000 = 5,000
• Adding the hundreds: 300 + 80 = 380
• Adding the tens and ones: 8 + 9 = 17

Now, we put them together:

\[ \text{Total for the second week} = 5,000 + 380 + 17 = 5,397 \]

Next, we add the number of visitors from both weeks:

\[ \text{Total visitors for both weeks} = \text{Visitors in the first week} + \text{Visitors in the second week} \] \[ \text{Total visitors for both weeks} = 2,308 + 5,397 \]

Let's again break it down for easier addition:

• Adding the thousands: 2,000 + 5,000 = 7,000
• Adding the hundreds: 300 + 300 = 600
• Adding the tens: 08 + 97 = 105

Now combine them:

\[ \text{Total visitors for both weeks} = 7,000 + 600 + 105 = 7,705 \]

Therefore, the total number of visitors that came during the first two weeks of summer is:

\[ \boxed{7,705} \]
