Question

P= 45,000-1,000m People start to leave the stadium at the end of a football game. the number of people,P, that are left in the stadium m minutes after the end of the game is given by the equation above. How many people were present when the game ended but before people started to leave?

Answer 1

The answer is 45000. M is 0 at the point just after the game.

Answer 2

45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement says that in the equation P= 45,000-1,000m, P is the number of people and m the minutes after the end of the game. As you need to determine the amount of people that were present when the game ended but before people started to leave, this means that m=0. If we replace this in the equation we have:

P= 45,000-(1,000*0)

P=45,000-0

P=45,000

The amount of people that were present when the game ended but before people started to leave is 45,000.
