Minute Mystery: The Book Fair

Bite-sized brain teaser to solve in a minute or less.

 

 

The Book Fair

A book publisher is selling books at a large book fair that attracts about 50,000 visitors per day. Of those, about 20% visit the publisher's stall, and about 5% of those visitors buy a book.

How many books does the publisher sell per day at the fair?

 

 

Solution

50,000 people visit the book fair.

20% of 50,000 = 10,000 people visit this publisher's stall

5% of 10,000 = 500 people buy a book


The publisher sells about 500 books per day at the fair.
