A school has 23 tables in the cafeteria. Each table seats 14 students. What is the greatest number of students that can be seated at these tables?
a. 114
b. 184
c. 194
d. 204

322 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have:

- The number of tables in the cafeteria is 23; we call this number n:

- The number of students that each table can seat is 14; we call this number s:

Since each table can seat s students, it means that a total of n tables can seat a number of student equal to the product between s and n, therefore:

And by substituting the numbers, we find:

452,489 to the nearest thousand is 452,000
