Question

At the Barclays Center there are 850 seats. Tickets were sold for 816 of the seats. For what percentage of the seats were tickets sold?

Answer 1

To solve divide the total number of tickets sold by the total tickets to derive percentage sold.  96%

Answer 2

percent sold=sold/original times 100

original=850

percent sold=816/850 times 100
percent sold=0.96 times 100
percent sold=96%
