Question

There are 61 people and the cafeteria has 9 tables with 8 seats at each table. How many empty seats should there be

Answer 1

The Answer is: 11.

Explanation:

61 people sit at the tables, each with 8 seats. There are 9 tables. How many total seats? Multiply 9 times 8.

9 * 8 = 72

Now subtract the number of people:

72 - 61 = 11 seats remaining.
