a) Out of each 7 tickets sold, 6 were regular tickets and 1 was a discount ticket. Thus the number of regular tickets sold was ...

... (6/7)×1456 = 1248 . . . regular tickets

b) At 98 seats per showing, it takes ...

... 1248 seats/(98 seats/showing) = 12.7347 showings

to accommodate all the ticket sold.

That is, the least number of showings there could have been is 13.

none of the above.

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
