Question

A STADIUM HAS 15,600 SEATS. IT HAS 60 ROWS OF SEATS ALTOGETHER. THE 35 ROWS AT THE BACK HAVE 300 SEATS EACH. THE REST OF THE ROWS AT THE FRONT HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF EACH SEATS EACH. HOW MANY SEATS ARE THERE IN EACH OF THE ROWS AT THE FRONT

Answer 1

Answer: The number of seats in each of the rows at the front =204

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = The number of seats in each of the rows at the front.

Given: Total seats = 15,600

Total rows = 60

Rows in back = 35

Rows in front = 60-35=25

Total seats in front = 25x

Each row in the back has 300 seats.

Total seats in the back =300 x35=10500

Seats in front = 15600-10500=5100

i.e. $25x=5100\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{5100}{25}=204$

Hence, the number of seats in each of the rows at the front =204
