A local baseball stadium has a total of 2,470 seats, with 263 seats reserved for season ticket holders.
If x represents the number of non -reserved seat tickets sold for the upcoming game, which of the following equations can be used to find the number of seats available for the upcoming game.
A. y=2,207-263x
B. y=2,207-2
C. y=2,470-x
D. y=2,470-263x
The number of seats available for the upcoming game is equal to the total number of seats minus the number of reserved seats. So, the equation that can be used to find the number of seats available is:
y = 2,470 - 263
Therefore, the correct answer is option D. y = 2,470 - 263x.
