Question

A school’s auditorium can hold a maximum of 450 people. The school is holding a talent show

where 35 students will perform. The school pre-sold 345 tickets to the show and will now allow
the performers to use the remaining tickets for their friends and family. If each student
performing in the talent show can invite the same number of guests, select all of the following
that represents the possible number of guests that arrive for each performer.

Answer 1

Each performer can get 2 guests.

Explanation:

There are 35 performers and 345 pre-sold tickets, so we just need to subract them from the amount of people that the stadium can hold. 450 - 35 - 345 = 70 people left

Since there is space for 70 more people, each performer can get (70/35) = 2 guests

Answer 2

Each can invite 2 guest

Explanation:

345+ 35= 380

450-380 = 70

70/35=2
