This is an SAT prep question:

There are 8 sections of seats in an auditorium. Each section contains at least 150 seats but not more than 200 seats. Which of the following could be the number of seats in this auditorium?
A.) 800
B.)1,000
C.)1,100
D.)1,300
E.)1,700

The maximum number would be 8*200.

The minimum number would be 8*150

Okay, thanks.

1300

To solve this SAT prep question, we need to consider the given information that each section contains at least 150 seats but not more than 200 seats.

Let's analyze each option:

A) 800 seats: This option is not possible since dividing 800 by 8 (the number of sections) would result in 100 seats per section, which is below the minimum requirement of 150 seats.

B) 1,000 seats: This option is not possible either since dividing 1,000 by 8 would result in 125 seats per section, which again falls below the minimum requirement.

C) 1,100 seats: If there are 1,100 seats in the auditorium, dividing it by 8 would give us 137.5 seats per section. Since each section must have at least 150 seats, this option is not possible.

D) 1,300 seats: Dividing 1,300 by 8 gives us 162.5 seats per section. This option satisfies the given condition since it falls within the range of at least 150 seats.

E) 1,700 seats: Dividing 1,700 by 8 gives us 212.5 seats per section. This option is not possible since it exceeds the maximum limit of 200 seats per section.

Therefore, the only option that could be the number of seats in this auditorium is D) 1,300.
