A stadium can seat 16,00 people at full capacity

a.If there are 13,920 people in the stadium, what percentage of the capacity is filled?
Explain or show your reasoning

Answer 1

87% full

Explanation:

To find the solution:

1. Use the equation p·x=y where x = 13,920 and y = 16,000
2. Since you are trying to find the percent, divide both sides of the equation by 13,920. p · 13,920(÷13,920) = 16,000(÷13,920)
3. The step above cancels out the 13,920 leaving you with the answer. p=0.87
4. 0.87 = 87%
