Great Mountain Ride shop has seen an increase in the number of people that have purchased a new snow board over the last three days. In order to keep up with demand, the manager of the shop has recorded the number of people that have
purchased a snow board over a five day period. His data was given in the following table:
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4
Day 5
% increase of the 10%

Given that the total number of people that purchased a snowboard on day 5 was 250 people, determine how many people
purchased snowboards the day before the manager started to collect her data. Round your answer to the nearest person.
