Question 1

A seating plan for a theatre is stored as a file on a solid-state drive (SSD).

The theatre seating layout is represented as a grid of 60 rows and 12 columns.

Each seat in the grid is represented by a single 3-byte record containing reservation details.

The file also contains 150 bytes of metadata.

The SSD allocates storage space in blocks of 1024 bytes.

Construct an expression to show the exact number of storage blocks required to store the file.

You do not need to perform the final calculation.
