Question

A small theater had 6 rows of 23 chairs each. An extra 7 chairs have just been brought in. How many chairs are in the theater now?

Answer 1

Answer: 145

Step-by-step explanation: multiply 6 by 23, and then add 7 to that final answer.

6 x 23 = 138

138 + 7 = 145

Answer 2

145 chairs

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can multiply the number of rows by the number of chairs per row to find the original number of chairs in the theater.

Then, we can add the number of extra chairs to find the total number of chairs in the theater now.

6 rows × 23 chairs/row = 138 chairs

138 chairs + 7 extra chairs = 145 chairs

Therefore, there are now 145 chairs in the theater.
