Question

People start to leave the stadium at the end of a football game. The number of people, PPP, that are left in the stadium mmm minutes after the end of the game is given by the equation above. How many people were present when the game ended but before people started to leave? P=45,000−1,000m

Answer 1

45,000

Explanation:

If P=45,000−1,000m,

where P=The number of people left in the stadium m minutes after the end of the game

We want to determine how many people were present when the game ended but before people started to leave.

Note that immediately the game ended,

m=0

Therefore, the number of people left in the stadium

P=45000−(1000 X 0)

P=45000

There were 45,000 people.
