A total of 8,844 people went to the football game.
Of those people, 5,100 sat on the home side and the rest sat on
the visitor'a side. If the people sitting on the visitor's side filled
8 equal-sized sections, about how many people sat in oach of
the sections were?

Respuesta :

Number of people sat in each section on visitor side is equal to 468

Solution:

Given that  

Total number of people went to football game = 8844

Also given 5,100 sat on the home side and the rest sat on  the visitor'a side.

Means Number of people sat on the home side = 5100

And remaining Number of people sat on the visitor side = Total number of people went to football game - Number of people sat on the home side

= 8844 – 5100 = 3744

Also given people sitting on the visitor's side filled 8 equal-sized sections

Need to calculate people sat in each section that is number of people on side in 1 section.

As calculated , total number of people sitting in equally sized 8 sections on visitor side = 3744

=> number of people sitting in 1 section on visitor side = [tex]\frac{3744}{8}=468[/tex]

Hence 468 people sat on each section
