Question

Paul Simon delighted a huge gathering in Central Park. The Parks Department set up 610 rows of 610 seats. In addition 20% of the Parks Department's 575 employees were in attendance. The music was so hot that the morning newspaper described the event as a ___________ in Central Park. How many people attended the concert?

Answer 1

372215

Explanation:

Total people in concert = Total seats for attendants + additional employees

Seats for public attendants = Rows x seats per rows = 610 x 610 = 372100

Additional employees = 20% of 575 = ( 20/100 ) x 575 = 115

So, total people in concert = 372100 + 115 = 372215
