About 451 people

Step-by-step explanation:

By dividing 150 by 260 you get the percentage change

150/260 = 0.576923076923

To find out how many people attended the museum on Wednesday with the same percentage change, you have to take 260 and divide it by 0.576923076923

260/0.576923076923 = 450.666666667

But you cant have a sixth of a person so you have to round to the nearest whole person which is 451
