Question

The seats available to a baseball game come in four types: bleacher, box, club, and grandstand. There are 12,600 box seats and 5,400 club seats available. According to the graph, what is the total number of seats available?

Answer 1

Answer: 45,000

Explanation:

Let x be the total number of seats available. According to the problem, 18% of the seats are bleachers, and 42% of the seats are grandstands. That means the remaining 40% of the seats are box and club seats combined since 100% - 18% - 42% = 40%.

The problem states that there are 12,600 box seats and 5,400 club seats available, which makes a total of 12,600 + 5,400 = 18,000 box and club seats.

Now, we can set up an equation to find the total number of seats:

0.40x = 18,000

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.40:

x = 18,000 ÷ 0.40

x = 45,000

There are a total of 45,000 seats available at the baseball game.
