.
I need to know the answer and the explanation of the following math word problem.
"The organizers of a school play estimate that half the students
who attend will bring an adult guest. If s represents the number
of students expected to attend the play, which expression represents
the total expected attendance?"

1) s + s/2
2) s + 2s
3) s/2
4) 2s
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The expression which represents the total expected attendance is

the number of students s who attend PLUS the number of adults guests 

which is expected to be s/2.



Based on this description/explanation, the expression under the problem's question is

    1)  s + s/2.      <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.


So, now you know the answer and have a complete explanation.



The level of complexity of this exercise is the same as 2 + 1 = 3.


The goal of this problem is to check if a reader is able to read
