Answer:

The number of seats needed is:

  • 1889

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the number of seats you need add in the theater to accommodate all the people, you can write a simple equation where you subtract from all people need to be seated (15,340), the seats already there are (13,451), how I show below:  

  • NS = x - y

Where:

  • NS = Number of seats that need to be added.
  • x = People need to be seated in the theater.
  • y = The seats there.

Replacing the equation with the values:

  • NS = 15,340 - 13,451
  • NS = 1,889
