Answer 1

5985 can fit in the room!

Explanation:

1) 150 * 100 = 15000

2) 6 * 6 = 36

3) 15000 - 36 = 14964

4) 14964 / 2.5 = 5985.6

5) But you can't fit almost half a person inside or create another whole person soo you round down to 5985

Answer 2

Answer : The number of fans or people in the building to meet the stars can be, 5985

Step-by-step explanation :

Given:

Area of the store = 15000 ft²

Area of the stage = 36 ft²

Area of the each person = 2.5 ft²

First we have to calculate the left area for the people.

Left area for the people = Area of the store - Area of the stage

Left area for the people = 15000 ft² - 36 ft²

Left area for the people = 14964 ft²

Now we have to calculate the number of fans or people can be in the building to meet the stars.

Number of fans to meet the stars =
`\frac{\text{Left area for the people}}{\text{Area of the each person}}`

Number of fans to meet the stars =
`(14964ft^2)/(2.5ft^2)`

Number of fans to meet the stars = 5985

Therefore, the number of fans or people in the building to meet the stars can be, 5985
