Solution

Let total number of spectators = 1

No. of spectators in covered place = $\frac{2}{7} o f 1 = \frac{2}{7}$

$Balance = 1 - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{7 - 2}{7} = \frac{5}{7}$

$∴ \frac{5}{7}$ of total spectators = 15000

$∴$ Total number of spectators

$= 15000 \div \frac{5}{7} = 15000 \times \frac{7}{5} = \frac{105000}{5} = 21000 A n s .$
