There are seats for 500 students in the auditorium. There are 187 students from Clare's school and 229 students from Noah's school at the performance.

Noah estimates that there will be about 100 empty seats. Do you agree with Noah? Explain or show your reasoning.

Yes, I agree with Noah.  Clare's school has 187 and 187 rounded to the nearest hundred is 200.  Noah's school has 229 and 229 rounded to the nearest hundred is 200.  200 + 200  is 400.  There are 500 seats.  500 - 400 = 100.  That means there would be about 100 empty seats.
