In a school auditorium, the number of chairs in a row is the same as the number of rows of chairs. There are 7033 students in the school. If we know that less than 31 chairs were empty, how many chairs were empty after all the students sat down?

Same number of rows to chairs in a row would form a square.

Use the total number of students as the area

Find the number or rows by taking the square root of student:

The square root of 7033 is 83.86

Round up to 84

Total seats would be rows x seats per row:

84 x 84 = 7,056 total seats

7056 seats - 7033 students = 23 empty seats

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
