There are 6 rows of 16 chairs set up for the third-grade play. In the first 4 rows, 2 chairs on each end are reserved for teachers. The rest of the chairs are for the students. How many chairs are there for students?

we multiply 16*6 to find the total number of chairs
Then we multiply 4 by 2 to find the total number of chairs that are reserved
Then we subtract them so...
96-8 = 88 chairs so 88 students
