There is 208 people in one movie theater.


There are 78 fewer people in the next. Subtract 208 and 78


208 - 78 = 130


There are 130 people in the next movie theater


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


To find the total, add the two total numbers of each theater together.


130 + 208 = 338


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


338 is the total amount of people.



hope this helps

Your writing is a bit confusing but I'm certain I know what the question is asking for so let's give it a go.

1st movie theater has 208 people

2nd movie theater has 78 less so that means 208-78 which means there are 130 people in the 2nd one

That being said, the question is asking for the total so 208+130=338 people in the movie theaters
