place while 15000 were in open find the total number of
spectators

Akhilesh Dixit · Answer

let the total spectators be x
spectators sitting in a covered place=2x/7
spectators sitting in an open place=5x/7
given spectators in an open place=15000
5x/7=15000
x=15000*7/5
x=3000*7
x=21000
total spectators =21000
