Question 1 A classroom has 9 rows with 12 seats in each row. If 15 seats are empty, how many seats are occupied?
Answer choices
- A. 93 seats
- B. 108 seats
- C. 123 seats
- D. 81 seats
Correct answer
93 seats
9 × 12 = 108 total seats; 108 − 15 = 93 occupied seats.
Wrong-answer review
- B. 108 seats: Incorrect. This is the total number of seats before subtracting empty seats.
- C. 123 seats: Incorrect. This adds the empty seats to the total.
- D. 81 seats: Incorrect. This incorrectly subtracts 27 seats.
Extra learning features
Interview question
Q: Explain the arithmetic steps used to solve this problem. Strong answer: The problem requires performing basic arithmetic. First, we multiply 9 rows by 12 seats per row to find the total number of seats (9 * 12 = 108). Then, we subtract the number of empty seats (15) from the total number of seats (108) to find the number of occupied seats (108 - 15 = 93). This demonstrates a clear understanding of multiplication and subtraction.
- multiplication
- subtraction
