13.

Step1: Strategy for estimate

Round 3627 to 3600 and 13 to 10.

Step2: Calculate estimate

$3600\times10 = 36000$

Step3: Strategy for exact number

Use the formula total = average×number of games.

Step4: Calculate exact number

$3627\times13=47151$

Since every seat was filled for each performance, use the formula total number of people = number of seats×number of performances.

Step2: Calculate

$2785\times29 = 2785\times(30 - 1)=2785\times30-2785\times1=83550 - 2785=80765$
