Question

There are 450 seats in a theatre. 48% of the seats are occupied. How many seats are not occupied?

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{234}}}}}`

Explanation:

Total seats in a theatre = 450

Finding the total occupied seats

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{48\% \: of \: 450}}`

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ (48)/(100) * 450}}`

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{216}}`

Finding the seats that are not occupied

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{450 - 216 = 234}}`

Hope I helped!
