Tammy put on an art show at the community center on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, 92 visitors came to view the art. On Saturday, there were 24 fewer visitors than on Friday. How many visitors came to the art show on Friday and Saturday combined?

1 answer

To find the total number of visitors who came to the art show on both Friday and Saturday, we start with the number of visitors on each day.

  1. Calculate the number of visitors on Saturday:

    • We know that on Friday, 92 visitors came.
    • On Saturday, there were 24 fewer visitors than on Friday, so we can calculate the number of visitors on Saturday as follows: \[ \text{Visitors on Saturday} = \text{Visitors on Friday} - 24 = 92 - 24 = 68 \]
  2. Calculate the total number of visitors for both days:

    • Now we add the number of visitors from Friday and Saturday: \[ \text{Total visitors} = \text{Visitors on Friday} + \text{Visitors on Saturday} = 92 + 68 = 160 \]

Therefore, the total number of visitors who came to the art show on Friday and Saturday combined is \( \boxed{160} \).
