At a certain concert, choral pieces are performed alternately with orchestral pieces, starting with a choral piece. If there is a total of p pieces performed, and p is an odd integer, how many of the pieces performed are choral?

p+1/2
p-1/2


what difference does it make if 1 is added or subtracted.....wouldnt it give you the same value - an even #?

I thought that since the concert started with a choral piece, there will always be 1 more choral piece per orchestral piece.

please explain

Since p is an odd integer; there will be p+1/2 choral pieces.

For example, say p=5, then starting with Choral (C), the order played would be C O C O C => C = 5+1/2 = 3 Chorals
It cannot be p-1/2 => (5-1)/2 = 2.
