Barbara is the manager at a sports arena that draws an average of 2,700 patrons per event. each ticket taker can process 125 event-goers per event. how many ticket takers should barbara hire? (round up to a whole number.)
Average patrons per event = 2,700
Number of event goers a ticket taker can process = 125
Therefore number of ticket takers that need hiring = 2700 ÷ 125 = 21.6 = 22 ticket takers
Answer:
22 ticket takers.
Explanation:
It is given that Barbara is the manager at a sports arena that draws an average of 2,700 patrons per event.
Each ticket taker can process 125 event-goers per event.
Let x be the number of ticket takers barbara should hire.
\(125\times x=2700\)
\(125x=2700\)
Divide both sides by
\(x=\frac{2700}{125}\)
\(x=21.6\)
\(x\approx 22\)
Therefore, Barbara should hire 22 ticket takers.
