Question

At the Atkins County Fair, the crowd for a concert by The Cooper Band cannot exceed a certain number. The limit for the number of people who can attend the concert is 0.04 people per square foot of space in the arena. If the arena is shaped as a rectangle with sides 220 feet by 200 feet, how many people can attend the concert?

Answer 1

The first thing to do was to find the area of the space to do that we would need to do:
220*200= 44000
the area is $44000ft^{2}$
next you would do:
44000/.4 to find how many people can fit
this equals 11000
11,000 people can attend the concert
