Question

A local technical school has 856 students they expect 700 guests for a special speaker. The custodian has set up 1,500 chairs how many more chairs are needed if all visitors and students are to have seats

Answer 1

There’s 856 students and they’re also expected 700 more people for a special guest, so it’d show up as 856 + 700 = ?

Subtract your added sum from how many chairs the custodian already has,
? - 1,500 = ?

Your final answer would be how many chairs they would need.

Answer 2

1,156 is your answer

Answer 3

so the answer is just 456 if you subtract the new number with 1500

Answer 4

IIf there are 856 students and 700 guests expected, then there will be a total of 1,556 people who need seats. Since the custodian has set up 1,500 chairs, we need to determine how many more chairs are needed.

To do this, we can subtract the number of chairs already set up from the total number of people who need seats:

1,556 (total number of people) - 1,500 (number of chairs already set up) = 56

Therefore, we need 56 more chairs in order for all visitors and students to have seats.
