Solving Audience Attendance Math Problem

1. The problem is to determine how many people saw the whole Harry Potter movie given that 532 people originally attended, 67 people left halfway through, and 213 were kids. 2. The plan is to use subtraction to calculate the number of people who saw the full movie by taking the original attendees and subtracting those who left. 3. Carrying out the plan, 532 original attendees minus 67 people who left equals 465 people who saw the full movie.
