Question

An airline company has a number of airplanes, n, that seat 250 customers each. Write an equation to represent, c, the total number of customers that can be seated by all of the airplanes.

if n = 12 use your equation to determine the total.

Answer 1

n×250=c

3000 people

Explanation:

Since each airplane seats 250 people and we need to see the total number of people able to be seated, we multiply the amount of airplanes by seats, and get the equation of n×250=c.

And then if we have 12 airplanes, n=12, the equation becomes 12×250=c.

c=3000 people
