There are 208 people in one movie theater. there are 78 fewer people in the next movie theater. how many people are in the both movie theater

Your writing is a bit confusing but I'm certain I know what the question is asking for so let's give it a go.

1st movie theater has 208 people

2nd movie theater has 78 less so that means 208-78 which means there are 130 people in the 2nd one

That being said, the question is asking for the total so 208+130=338 people in the movie theaters

There is 208 people in one movie theater.

There are 78 fewer people in the next. Subtract 208 and 78

208 - 78 = 130

There are 130 people in the next movie theater

To find the total, add the two total numbers of each theater together.

130 + 208 = 338

338 is the total amount of people.

hope this helps

40 is the final : )
