Question

The movie theater has 250 seats, 225 seats were sold for the movie. What percent of the seats were not sold?

Answer 1

10%

Explanation:

250 - 225 = 25% = (25/250)*100 = (1/10)*100%=10%

Answer 2

If 225 seats out the 250 total seats are sold that means there are 25 unsold seats. To get the percent you’ll need to take the number of unsold seats divided by the number of total seats then multiply by 100. If you do this you’ll get %10.
