Final answer:
In this case, the total number of people who went to the theater is 9.
The answer is option ⇒5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total number of people who went to the theater, we need to determine the number of adults and children separately and then add them together.
The given ratio of adults to children is 7:2. Let's assume the number of adults is 7x and the number of children is 2x.
We know that 4 of the children had seats in the stalls, and the total number of children who had seats in the stalls is 4.
So, we can set up the equation:
(4/2) * 2x = 4
Simplifying this equation, we have:
2 * 2x = 4
4x = 4
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we get:
x = 1
Therefore, the number of children (2x) is 2 * 1 = 2.
To find the number of adults, we can substitute the value of x into the equation:
7x = 7 * 1 = 7
So, the number of adults is 7.
To find the total number of people who went to the theater, we add the number of adults and children together:
7 + 2 = 9
Therefore, the total number of people who went to the theater is 9.
The answer is option ⇒5
