Question

At the stadium there are 40 rows of chairs. There are 50 chairs in each row. How many chairs are set up? To attend a concert at the stadium, a ticket costs $34.50. If every chair is filled at the concert, how much money did the stadium make?

Answer 1

By multiplying the number of rows (40) by chairs per row (50), there are 2000 chairs in the stadium. Multiplying the total number of chairs by the ticket price ($34.50) reveals that the stadium made $69,000 if every chair was filled.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total number of chairs set up in the stadium, you multiply the number of rows by the number of chairs in each row. With 40 rows and 50 chairs per row, the calculation is as follows:

1. Multiply the number of rows (40) by the number of chairs per row (50).
2. The result is the total number of chairs: 40 × 50 = 2000 chairs.

To determine how much money the stadium made if every chair is filled, you would perform the following calculation:

1. Multiply the total number of chairs (2000) by the cost of a ticket ($34.50).
2. The result gives you the total revenue: 2000 × $34.50 = $69,000.

If the stadium was filled to capacity with each ticket sold at $34.50, the total revenue made from the concert would be $69,000.
