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.
