The bands sell all but 500 tickets for an 800 p.m concert at Badger Arena. At 730 p.m ,18,777 people have arrived. How many people are not at the arena yet?

How many people does the arena hold?

20000

20,000 - 500 = 19,500 tickets sold

19,500 - 18,777 = ?

To find out how many people are not at the arena yet, we need to subtract the number of people who have arrived from the total capacity of the arena.

Given that the capacity of the arena is all but 500 tickets, we can calculate the maximum number of people the arena can hold by adding 500 to the number of people who have arrived:

Maximum capacity = 18,777 + 500 = 19,277

To find out how many people are not at the arena yet, we subtract the number of people who have arrived from the maximum capacity:

Number of people not at the arena yet = Maximum capacity - Number of people who have arrived

Number of people not at the arena yet = 19,277 - 18,777

Number of people not at the arena yet = 500

Therefore, there are 500 people who are not at the arena yet.
