Answer 1

Answer:

22 ticket takers.

Explanation:

It is given that Barbara is the manager at a sports arena that draws an average of 2,700 patrons per event.

Each ticket taker can process 125 event-goers per event.

Let x be the number of ticket takers barbara should hire.

$125\times x=2700$

$125x=2700$

Divide both sides by

$x=\frac{2700}{125}$

$x=21.6$

$x\approx 22$

Therefore, Barbara should hire 22 ticket takers.

Answer 2

Average patrons per event = 2,700

Number of event goers a ticket taker can process = 125

Therefore number of ticket takers that need hiring = 2700 ÷ 125 = 21.6 = 22 ticket takers
