Question

Transcribed Image Text:When one person shouts at a football game, the sound intensity level at the center of the field is 68.4 dB.
When all the people shout together, the intensity level increases to 104 dB. Assuming that each person
generates the same sound intensity at the center of the field, how many people are at the game?
