Question

A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a ballet at a theater that has 2900 seats. The students filled 986 of the seats in the theater. What percentage of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip?

Answer 1

34%

Explanation:

986/2900 x 100 = 34%

Answer 2

34%

Explanation:

To find what percent a part is of the whole, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100%.

`(986)/(2900) * 100\% = 0.34 * 100\% = 34\%`
