 chairs have just been brought in. How many chairs are in the theater now?

chairs

Answer 1

1. What you need to do first is multiply 23 and 9 to represent how many chairs are in each row and the number of rows. 23 * 9 = 207
2. Then, you add the extra 6 to the sum of 23 * 9. (23*9) + 6 = 207 + 6 = 213 total chairs in the theater.
