They sacrificed 3 - 4 hundred per day. Do the math and that's about 109500 - 146000 people a year.
At least, that's what I learned back in grade six.

Since the Aztecs believed to they needed to sacrifice a lot of people a year to please their "gods", this bloody ritual ceremony would take the lives of 10,000 people a year. If the Aztecs didn't have enough victims to supply this ritual of slashing open the victims chest on top of a temple the rolling the bloody body down the steps the Aztecs would fight battles with neighboring people and capture prisoners.
The Aztecs became extremely wealthy because they conquered many people and received tribute payments.
Took many prisoners so they could sacrifice them to the gods
They had so many gods because each god had a specific purpose for example they had a rain and sun god. But they even have the most important which is their sacrifice god. People were sacrificed because they thought they were healing the gods.

Many people find their human sacrifice repulsive and barbaric. Also, they conquered many places, and ruled others through fear and oppression, which ended up being part of their downfall. However, many ancient civilizations had their own atrocities.

Both the Mayans and Aztecs had polytheistic religions, meaning that they believed in many gods.The Mayans religion included human sacrifice and the worship of serpent gods and jaguar rulers. These practices derived partly from the Olmec tradition.The Aztecs believed in jaguar gods and the feathered serpent. Most important was the sun god, Huitzilopochtli, who took the form of a giant hummingbird. The Aztecs believed that the appearance of the sun every morning depended on their devotion to Huitzilopochtli. They also believed the sun drew its energy from human blood, so they practiced human sacrifice on an extremely large scale.

The aztecs build temples(also know as the aztecs pyramids) to whorship their gods. In these temples they would make human sacrifices. These sacrifices would be of royalty from surronding tribes or of people back in there time that they thought were beautiful. They would do this by taking out the persons heart. Most of the people that were sacrifice were male. Since they would need the women to reproduce children. Also if anyone didn't know the aztecs believe that their rules were their gods children. That is why they are also know as the "holy lords".
