Eric Pham · Answer 1

The seats are increasing at a rate of four per row. If you were to write this in an equation, it would be y=4X+20, with 4 as the rate of change, 20 as the original amount of seats, and Y as the total number of seats for X rows. Plug in 25 for X and you'll get an answer of 120 seats.
