Answer: 203 + X = 250 (x=47)

Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the additional number of students that can be seated. We are given 250 seats are in total in the cafeteria. 203 students are already seated.

Subtract 203 from 250 (250-203). This will give you X.

Therefore, 47 additional students can be seated in the cafeteria.

Check your work!
Take 250 (total seats) and subtract 47 (what we found for x), this will give you 203 (total number of students already seated)


Hope this helps!!
