Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
If we go by 20's (20% of 100) 100% is 5. Since were dealing with 120% in our case we'll be dividing by 6 <u>to figure out what every 20% is</u>. All we need to do it's divide 48 by 6 and we get the answer 8. So in our case every 20% is equal to 8. now to solve for 100% all we need to do is subtract 8 (20%) from 120% (48) and we find 100% is 40. We could also do 8 x 5. (<em>remember every 1 is 20% in our case</em>) which is also 40. Therefore, your answer is 40.

Answer:
26 rows
Step-by-step explanation:
this is like a rectangle length×width situation.
seats per row = s
number of rows = r
s × r = 884
s = r + 8
so, we can use e.g. the second equation in the first :
(r + 8) × r = 884
r² + 8r = 884
r² + 8r - 884 = 0
the general solution to such a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
x = r
a = 1
b = 8
c = -884
r = (-8 ± sqrt(8² - 4×1×-884))/(2×1) =
= (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 3536))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(3600))/2 =
= (-8 ± 60)/2 = -4 ± 30
r1 = -4 + 30 = 26
r2 = -4 - 30 = -34
a negative number did not make any sense for the number of rows, so r = 26 is our answer.
