Question

This math problem was from my daughter's Math wings club at her school. No one could get it right. Can someone please tell me the answer? 

Answer 1

24 rows held x number of patrons and 24/x people in each row

with 6 less rows = 24-6 =18 each row now holds x/18 patrons

more people are in each row

say the theatre holds 360 people, originally 360/24 =15 per row

now 360/18 = 20 per row

with less rows more per row
