To illustrate how to solve this, imagine having two chairs and three people. To find out how many people would have to stand in that situation, we subtract the number of seats from the number of people.

people - seats = people standing

3 - 2 = 1

We can do the same thing with the stadium. we have 46,000 seats and 49,442 people.

people - seats = people standing

49,442 - 46,000 = 3,442

So, 3,442 people must stand because they do not have a seat.
