Came across this practice exam question: “In a movie theater with 2,409 fixed seats, what is the total number of required wheelchair spaces?” ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/blackspectacles/original/2X/d/d3bb3801bc9b29a02367cbfd3cee0cd5c16bb175.jpeg) The answer is 19 seats Why isn’t the answer 6 + (2409/150)? ---

The 6 spaces covers the first 500 seats. For the remainder, subtract 500 from 2,409 and divide that number by 150. Since it says “or fraction thereof”, round that number up. 2409 - 500 = 1909 1909 / 150 = 12.73 round up to 13 and add to 6 19 spaces required
