Sagot :

Answer:

a) yes, as the number of seats (2352) is larger than the total audience (1912)

b) 440 empty seats

Step-by-step explanation:

a) total number of seats = number of rows x number of seats in each row

total number of seats = 49 x 48

total number of seats = 2352 seats

total audience = 1854 students + 58 teachers

total audience = 1912 people

b) empty seats = total number of seats - total audience

empty seats = 2352 - 1912

empty seats = 440
