so it is 
C) about 3 

Answer: C) about 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The area of school gym = 2400 square feet

The number of people in the gym for the  pep rally =700

Then , the area occupied by each person = [tex]\text{area of gym}\div\text{number of people}[/tex]

Thus, the area occupied by each person=[tex]2400\div700[/tex]

⇒ The area occupied by each person=[tex]3.4285\ ft^2\approx3\ ft^2[/tex]

About 3 square feet of area is available for each person.
