Question

A theater seats 1,860 people. The last 6 shows have been sold out. Estimate the total number of people attending the last 6 shows.

Answer 1

The total number of people is less than 12,000.

Explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

- Number of seats: 1,860.

- Number of shows: 6.

2. As you can see, 1,860 is nearly 2,000; therefore, you can multiply 6 shows by 2,000:

`x<(2,000)(6)\\x<12,000`

Where
`x` is the the total number of people attending the last 6 shows.

3. Therefore, the answer is:

`x<12,000` (Less than 12,000)
