Question

Makayla is planning an event in a 5,400 square foot room. If there should be at least 8 square feet per person, what is the maximum number of people that could attend this event?

  1. 588
  2. 675
  3. 15,274
  4. 43,200

The correct answer is: 675


    Hint:
    Total Space in the room = Number of people attending the event cross times space occupied by each person.
    Step-by-step solution:-
    Total space in the room = 5,400 sq. ft.
    Space occupied by each person = 8 sq. ft.
    Number of people that could attend the event = N = ?
    Using the above formula, we get-
    Total Space in the room = Number of people attending the event cross times space occupied by each person.
    ∴ 5,400 = N cross times 8
    5400 over 8 = N
    ∴ N = 675
    ∴ A maximum of 675 persons can attend this event to satisfy the given conditions.
    Final Answer:-
    Option B i.e. 675 is the correct Option.
