conversations.value: I need a clearer understanding of how to solve: The school auditorium has 4 rows of seats. There are 18 seats in each row. One-fourth of the seats were occupied by the administrators. One-third of the remaining seats were occupied by the parents and the rest were occupied by the students. How many students were there in the school auditorium?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: There are 4 x 18 = 72 seats in the school auditorium.
  72 x1/4 = 18 seats were occupied by the administrators.
  There were 72 - 18 = 54 seats not occupied by the administrators.
  54 x 1/3 = 18 seats were occupied by the parents.
  So, 54 - 18 = 36 seats were occupied by the students.
