Question

the drama club has sold 942 tickets to their play if their theater seats 57 each row how many full rows were there be how many extra seats will be filled

Answer 1

Since 57x17=969 I did 969-942 and got 27 so there is 16 full rows and then 27 left over so that means it won’t be a full row but 27 extra seats will be filled. (If your wondering where the 17 came from that’s how many rows can be made that’s over 942 because if I did 57x16 it would equal 912 and I would not have had a full row of chairs)
