Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to find the total number of people who saw a show playing at a theater downtown on Friday and Saturday night. On Friday night, 3,995 people attended the show, and on Saturday night, there were 4,150 attendees. To determine the total number of people who saw the show, we simply add these two numbers together.
On Friday: 3,995 people
On Saturday: 4,150 people
To find the total: 3,995 + 4,150 = 8,145 people
Therefore, the correct answer is A) 8,145, indicating that 8,145 people in total went to see the show over the two nights.
