    Section B has 12.5% more seats than Section A.
    Section C has 3/8 of the number of seats in Section A.
    (i) Show that the number of seats in Section B is 171.
    (ii) Show that the total number of seats is 380.
    (b) Write down and simplify the ratio of the number of seats in each section A : B : C.
    (c) In Section A:
  • There are 12 seats in the front row.
