Answer 1

1.

number of seats in the stadium = 10,500

Number of sections = 2 premium + 10 standard = 12

number of seats in each section = number of seats in the stadium / number of sections = 10,500/12 = 875 seats per section

2.

Seats in each row = 35

Seats in each section = 875

Rows in each section = seats in each section / seats in each row = 875/35 = 25 rows in each section

3.

Cost per premium seat = $48

number of premium sections = 2

seats per section = 875

Money = number of premium section x number of seats per section x price per premium ticket

M = 2 x 875 x 48 = $84,000
