Answer 1

22 ticket takers.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Barbara is the manager at a sports arena that draws an average of 2,700 patrons per event.

Each ticket taker can process 125 event-goers per event.

Let x be the number of ticket takers barbara should hire.

`125* x=2700`

`125x=2700`

Divide both sides by

`x=(2700)/(125)`

`x=21.6`

`x\approx 22`

Therefore, Barbara should hire 22 ticket takers.

Answer 2

Average patrons per event = 2,700

Number of event goers a ticket taker can process = 125

Therefore number of ticket takers that need hiring = 2700 ÷ 125 = 21.6 = 22 ticket takers
