Final answer:

There are 131 people who are fans of the red team at the baseball game, calculated by subtracting the 273 blue team fans from the total of 404 people attending the game.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many people are fans of the red team at a baseball game, you can subtract the number of blue team fans from the total number of people present at the game. If there are 404 people in total and 273 people are fans of the blue team, then:

Total fans of red team = Total number of people - Number of blue team fans

Total fans of red team = 404 - 273 = 131 people

So, there are 131 people who are fans of the red team.

Yes, the sentence does describe how to find the answer: by subtracting the number of blue team fans from the total attendance, we can determine the number of red team fans.
