Dress rehearsal of the play was attended by 142 people. Opening night was attened by 238 people. How many people saw the two shows in all?

I assume different people attended opening night from the rehearsal.

Add:

142 + 238 = ?

Well, the dress rehearsal had 142 people, and opening night had 238 people. So in total, there were... (calculating)... enough people to form a small army! 380 people, to be precise. That's quite the audience!

To find the total number of people who saw the two shows, you need to add the number of people who attended the dress rehearsal and the number of people who attended the opening night.

142 (dress rehearsal) + 238 (opening night) = 380

Therefore, a total of 380 people saw the two shows in all.

To find the total number of people who saw both shows, you can simply add the attendance of the dress rehearsal and the opening night together.

Given:
Dress rehearsal attendance: 142 people
Opening night attendance: 238 people

To get the total attendance, add the two numbers together:

142 + 238 = 380

Therefore, a total of 380 people saw the two shows in all.
