To determine how many seats the auditorium contains, we need to consider the given details:
1. The auditorium has 25 rows.
2. Each row contains 40 seats.
To find the total number of seats, we multiply the number of rows by the number of seats per row:
[tex]\[
\text{Total number of seats} = \text{Number of rows} \times \text{Seats per row}
\][/tex]
Now, substituting the given numbers:
[tex]\[
\text{Total number of seats} = 25 \times 40
\][/tex]
After performing the multiplication:
[tex]\[
25 \times 40 = 1,000
\][/tex]
So, the auditorium contains 1,000 seats.
Thus, the correct answer is:
O 1,000 seats
