Yesterday was the first playoff game for the Culver City Cyclones baseball team. The stadium's manager predicted attendance at the game would be 5,600 fans. Unfortunately, the threat of a storm caused many to stay home, and his prediction wound up being \( 28 \% \) higher than the actual attendance. What was the actual attendance at the baseball game?

To find the actual attendance, let \( x \) be the actual attendance. According to the problem, the manager's prediction (5,600 fans) was \( 28\% \) higher than the actual attendance. This can be expressed as: \[ 5600 = x + 0.28x \] Combining the terms gives: \[ 5600 = 1.28x \] Now, divide both sides by \( 1.28 \): \[ x = \frac{5600}{1.28} \] \[ x \approx 4375 \] Therefore, the actual attendance at the baseball game was approximately 4,375 fans.
