Question

There are 275 people in the movie theater.The same number of people are seated in each of the 5 different sections of the theater.How many people are seated in each section?

Answer 1

The number of people seated in each section is 55.

Explanation

Suppose, the number of people seated in each section is $x$

As, the same number of people are seated in each of the 5 different sections, so the total number of people seated in all those 5 sections $=5x$

Given that, there are 275 people in the movie theater. So, the equation will be....

$5x=275\\ \\ x=\frac{275}{5}=55$

So, the number of people seated in each section is 55.
