A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a ballet. The students filled 1898 seats, which was 73% of the total number of seats in the theater. How many total seats were in the theater?

x = 2600 seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of seats be x.

Given the following data;

Number of seats occupied = 1898 seats

Percentage = 73%

To find the total number of seats;

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

Cross-multiplying, we have;

x = 2600 seats.

Therefore, the total number of seats in the theater are 2600 seats.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

on monday rodney ate 1/4th of the sandwich = 3/12

on tuesday he ate 1/3rd of the sandwich = 4/12

therefore in total he has eaten = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

thus we can say that he has eaten 7/12 of the sandwich on monday and tuesday alltogether.
