A small theater had 8 rows of 27 chairs each. Workers just removed 7 of these chairs. How many chairs are left?

Answer 1

To find the total number of chairs in the theater before any were removed, we can calculate the total number of chairs by multiplying the number of rows by the number of chairs per row.

The total number of chairs is: \[ 8 \text{ rows} \times 27 \text{ chairs per row} = 216 \text{ chairs} \]

After the workers removed 7 chairs, the number of remaining chairs is: \[ 216 \text{ chairs} - 7 \text{ chairs} = 209 \text{ chairs} \]

Thus, the number of chairs left is \(\boxed{209}\).
