Question

There are 88 seats in a theater. The seating in the theater is split into 4 identical sections. Each section has 14 red seats and some blue seats. Whats the equation?

Answer 1

8 blue seats in each section

Explanation:

88 seats in 4 identical sections

88÷4 = 22 seats in each section

red+blue = 22

14+blue = 22

blue = 22-14

8 blue seats each section

Equation:

No. of blue seats = (88/4) - 14
