Answer:

  87

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers of seats in each row form an arithmetic sequence. The general term (an) of such a sequence is given in terms of the initial value (a1) and the common difference (d) as ...

  an = a1 + (n-1)·d

The 27th term of the sequence with first value 9 and common difference 3 is ...

  a27 = 9 + (27-1)·3 = 9 +78 = 87

There are 87 seats in row AA.

Answer:  95 seats


Step-by-step explanation:

I added 3 to each row starting with the 9 seats, up to 27 rows.
