Question

An airplane is carrying 45 passengers, which is 34 of the capacity of the airplane. What is the capacity of the airplane?

Answer 1

capacity of the airplane = 132 passengers

Explanation:

let capacity of the airplane = x

total passengers = 45,

which is 34% of the capacity of the airplane

thus,

34% of x = 45

x * 34/100 = 45

34x = 4500

x = 4500/34 = 132.4 = 132 passengers
