    A small theater had 6 rows of 24 chairs each. An extra 7 chairs have just been brought in. How many chairs are in the theater now?

    Calculate the chairs in the theater before the extra chairs were brought in:
    Chairs in theater (before) = Rows * Chairs per row
    Chairs in theater (before) = 6 * 24
    Chairs in theater (before) = 144

    To get the chairs in the theater after the extra, we have:
    Chairs in theater = Chairs in theater (before) + extra chairs
    Chairs in theater = 144 + 7
    Chairs in theater = 151
