Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
q14) 540 children
q15) 864
q16) 72%
Step-by-step explanation:
q 14)
given, 2/15 of the children had seats in the Stalls.
so, if the total number of children were x, then the number of children in the stalls were 2/15 of x
The rest of the children had seats in balcony. That is, (1 - 2/15) of x were in balcony.
→ Children in balcony = x - 2x/15 = 13x/15
→ 13x/15 = 468
→ x = 468×15/13 = 540 children.
