<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 34 persons received the $50 gift card.

If we need to know how many many people received a $50 gift card over the two days (Sunday and Monday) we need to divide the total attendance by the number 75 because every 75 persons, there is a $50 gift card.

So, calculating we have:

$TotalAttendance=SundayAttendance+MondayAttendance\\TotalAttendance=1030+1562=2592$

Then, dividing the total attendance by 75 to know how many people received a $50 gift card over the two days, we have:

$ReceivedGiftCards=\frac{2592}{75}=34.6$

Hence, rounding to the nearest whole number, 34 persons received the $50 gift card.

Have a nice day!
