Answer:

5 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find how many people 36 tables seats. In order to do this, we need to multiply 36 (tables) by 4 (people sitting) to get 144. Now just subtract 144 from 179 to see how many people are left, here we get 35. Since there are 7 booths, we divide 35 by 7 to get 5. Each booth holds 5 people.

(179-36x4)/7=5
