Answer :

Given:

There are 8,000 seats at this venue.

There is a lawn that is rectangular 100 ft by 400 ft.

One person takes up 2.5 square ft.

To find number of tickets to be sold:

Area of the rectangular lawn is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=100\times400 \\ =40000\text{ sq. ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Number of persons those who occupies the rectangular lawn is,

[tex]\frac{40000}{2.5}=16000[/tex]

Hence, the total number of tickets to be sold is,

8000+16000=24000 tickets.

Hence, the answer is, 24000 tickets.
