Bart's drama club put on a play.There were 843 people in the audience.Each ticket to the play cost $8.The audience was seated in 3 sections.If each section had the same number of people,how many people were in each section?

843 / 3 = ?

281

To find out how many people were in each section:

1. Subtract the total cost of tickets from the total number of people in the audience:
843 - 3 = 840

2. Divide the result by the number of sections:
840 ÷ 3 = 280

Therefore, there were 280 people in each section.

To find out how many people were in each section, we have to divide the total number of people in the audience by the number of sections.

Given that there were 843 people in the audience and they were seated in 3 sections, we can divide 843 by 3.

843 ÷ 3 = 281

Therefore, there were 281 people in each section of Bart's drama club play.
