A stadium can hold 20,000 people when it is full. The table below shows the number of people that attended concerts at the stadium over a 3-day period.

| Day | Number of People |
|----------|------------------|
| Friday | 17,563 |
| Saturday | 18,126 |
| Sunday | 16,618 |

If the stadium had been full for each of the concerts, how many more people would have attended the concerts over the same 3-day period?

If full then the stadium could have held 60000 people over 3 days. It really held 17563+18126+16618 over the 3 days = 52307 people. To work out the difference 60000 - 52307 = 7693 Therefore 7693 seats were free over the 3 day period and so 7693 more people could have attended the concerts overall

If the stadium had been at full capacity for the concerts over the 3-day period, it could have held 60,000 people. The actual attendance was 52,307 people, leading to a difference of 7,693 people who could have attended. Therefore, 7,693 more seats were available if the stadium had been full.
