How many odd days are there in 100 years if the period contains exactly 24 leap years?
Hint
Calculate total days first.
Answer
5 odd days.
Explanation
There are 76 normal years and 24 leap years. Total days = 76×365 + 24×366 = 36524. Dividing by 7 leaves remainder 5.
Step-by-Step Solution
76×365 = 27740.
24×366 = 8784.
Total = 36524.
36524 mod 7 = 5.
24×366 = 8784.
Total = 36524.
36524 mod 7 = 5.
