D) 15 showings

Answer 1

To determine the least number of showings after 4:00 PM last Saturday, we need to divide the total number of regular price tickets sold by 98.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the least number of showings after 4:00 PM last Saturday, we need to determine how many regular price tickets were sold. Based on the information given, all movies after 4:00 PM required a regular price ticket.

We know that each theater at the movie Plex seats 98. So, to find the least number of showings, we need to divide the total number of regular price tickets sold by 98.

Let's assume x represents the number of regular price tickets sold. The correct expression to find the least number of showings after 4:00 PM is x ÷ 98.

Since we don't have information about the actual number of regular price tickets sold, we cannot determine the exact least number of showings. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined with the given information.
