    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sum total of all the angles is 7,740 degrees,

    The formula for the interior angle is 180 (n - 2) where n is the number of sides in the polygon

    Set this equal to 7740

    180 (n-2) = 7740

    Divide each side by 180

    180/180 (n-2) = 7740/180

    n-2 = 43

    Add 2 to each side

    n-2+2 = 43+2

    n = 45

    Each vertex hold 5 people so take n and multiply by 5

    45*5 = 225

    The Ferris wheel holds 225 people
