There are 25 rows of seating available at an outdoor concert. However, there was 1200 tickets sold and the staff had to add 3 seats
to each row in order to have enough seats for the number of tickets sold. How many seats were there in each of the original rows
if each row had the same number of seats?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

1.  1200%2F25 = 48.

    48 seats in each row after adding 3 seats to each row.


2.  48 - 3 = 45.

    There were 45 seats in each row originally.
