Question

Peak Cinema has 10 theatres.

Half of the theatres have 98
seats and the rest have half
that many seats. The separate
iMax theatre holds 2 18 people.
How many seats are in the
entire movie theatre?​

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \text{953 seats}}\\`

Explanation:

Five of Peak Cinema's theatres are medium-sized (98 seats) and five are small (half of 98 = 49 seats).

Their total number of seats is

5 × 98 + 5 × 49 = 490 + 245 = 735 seats

Add the separate iMax theatre and the total capacity of the complex becomes

735 + 218 = 953 seats

`\boxed{ \textbf{The entire movie theatre complex has 953 seats.}}\\`
