How many piano tuners live in new york city?
Some people tune their pianos monthly. Some never tune them at all. It is probably reasonable to expect that, on average, pianos get tuned once a year. But you don't really know that for sure. Let's begin: NYC Population: 3e6 people, more or less Average size of household: 1.46 people / household Average number of households having a piano: 11.7 households / piano Number of pianos tuned by one tuner per day: 4 pianos (exactly) Number of tuner workdays per year: 253 days (exactly) Number of people per piano: 1.46 * 11.7 = 17 people / piano Number of pianos per NYC: 3e6 / 17 = 176470 pianos / NYC Number of pianos tuned by one tuner per year: 4 * 253 = 1012 pianos Number of tuners needed to tune all the pianos in NYC: 176470 / 1012 = 174. ANSWER: 174 tuners, more or less. Note: A standard piano keyboard has 88 keys. An octave spans 12 keys, not 8. The number of keys is irrelevant, as is the number of strings, because a piano tuner will tune all the strings for all the keys when he/she tunes the piano.
