Q. On Friday night 2,950 people attended the rodeo, and 3,159 people attended Saturday night, if the stadium seats 4,000 people, how many seats were there for the two nights?

-
A. So do I subtract 3,159 - 4,000 = 951 & add 951 + 3,159 ?

Add the number of attendees for both nights. Subtract the sum from 4,000.

There were 2,109 seats left?

That's not the answer I got.

There were 2,109 seats left?

1,189??

To find the total number of seats for the two nights, you need to add the number of seats filled on Friday night and Saturday night. Let's break down the steps:

1. On Friday night, 2,950 people attended the rodeo, and the stadium can seat 4,000 people.
- To find the number of empty seats on Friday night, subtract the number of attendees from the total seating capacity: 4,000 - 2,950 = 1,050.

2. On Saturday night, 3,159 people attended the rodeo, and the stadium can seat 4,000 people.
- To find the number of empty seats on Saturday night, subtract the number of attendees from the total seating capacity: 4,000 - 3,159 = 841.

3. To calculate the total number of seats for the two nights, add the number of empty seats on Friday night and Saturday night:
- 1,050 + 841 = 1,891 seats.

Therefore, there were a total of 1,891 seats available for the two nights.
