Problem 31
Architecture A 20 -row theater has three sections of seating. In each section, the number of seats in a row increases by one with each successive row. The first row of the middle section has 10 seats. The first row of each of the two side sections has 4 seats. a. Find the total number of chairs in each section. Then find the total seating capacity of the theater. b. Write an arithmetic series to represent each section. c. After every five rows, the ticket price goes down by \(\$ 5 .\) Front-row tickets cost \(\$ 60 .\) What is the total amount of money generated by a full house?
Problem 42
