HELP! The Children’s Theater can seat 1,575 people in 63 equal rows. The Bartell Theater can seat 2,048 people in 64 equal rows. How many more or fewer people are seated in each row at the Bartell Theater than at the Children’s Theater, if all the seats are filled at both theaters? Please show your work!

Since both of them can fit the people evenly into rows, when you divide the number of people by the rows, you should get a whole number. For The Children's Theater, there are 25 people in each row. (1575/63)

For the Bartell Theater, there are 32 people seated in each row.(2048/64)

Now, all you have to do is find the difference between them. 32 minus 25 is 7.

You final answer will be: There are 7 more people seated at the Bartell Theater than The Children's Theater.
