Answer 1

Given:

There are 8,000 seats at this venue.

There is a lawn that is rectangular 100 ft by 400 ft.

One person takes up 2.5 square ft.

To find number of tickets to be sold:

Area of the rectangular lawn is,

`\begin{gathered} A=100*400 \\ =40000\text{ sq. ft} \end{gathered}`

Number of persons those who occupies the rectangular lawn is,

`(40000)/(2.5)=16000`

Hence, the total number of tickets to be sold is,

8000+16000=24000 tickets.

Hence, the answer is, 24000 tickets.
