A) 52 + 32= ?
B) 4 + 32 + 58= ?
C) (58 + 32) x 4= ?
D) (58 - 32) x 4= ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The right option is (C) (58 + 32)×4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of rooms = 4

Number of seats on left = 58 seats in each room

Number of seats on right = 32 seats in each room

Total number of seats in a room = 58 + 32 seats

Total number of seats in the movie theater = Number of rooms × Number of seats in each room

Total number of seats in the movie theater = 4 × (58 + 32)  = 360 seats

Hence the right option is (C) (58 + 32)×4
