Question

A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a play at a theater that has 4400 seats. The students left 2992 seats vacant. What percentage of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip?

Answer 1

32%

Explanation:

4400 - 2992 = 1408

1408 seats filled

1408/4400 = 0.32

0.32 x 100 = 32% of the seats were filled
