Question

470 patrons showed up at the opening of a new movie. 20 patrons were turned away as the cinema with 18 rows of seats was filled to capacity. What was the average number of patrons in each row? Then management then arranges the seating area for the same capacity but in 15 rows instead. How many patrons will one row hold?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• 25 seats per row in 18 rows
• 30 seats per row in 15 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of seats is 470 -20 = 450.

The number of seats in a row is found by dividing seats by rows.

In 18 rows

  450 seats/(18 rows) = 25 seats/row

In 15 rows

  450 seats/(15 rows) = 30 seats/row
