Question

a movie complex is showing the same movie in three theaters. In theater A, 112 of the 160 seats are filled. In theater B, 84 seats are filled and 56 seats are empty. In theater C, 63 of the 180 seats are empty. Which theater has the greater percent of its seats filled.

Answer 1

Answer: Theater A has the greatest percent of seats filled, at 70%

Explanation:

To find out which theater has the greatest percent of its seats filled, we need to calculate the percentage of seats filled in each theater. We can use the following formula to calculate percentage:

Percentage = (Part / Whole) x 100

For theater A, we have 112 seats filled out of 160 total seats: Percentage for theater A = (112 / 160) x 100 = 70%

For theater B, we have 84 seats filled out of 140 total seats: Percentage for theater B = (84 / 140) x 100 = 60%

For theater C, we have 117 seats filled out of 180 total seats: Percentage for theater C = (63 / 180) x 100 = 35% (Note that we need to subtract 63 empty seats from the total seats to get the total filled seats in theater C)

Therefore, theater A has the greatest percent of its seats filled, at 70%.

Answer 2

i believe it’s theater A.
112/160 x 100 = 70%

theater B has 140 seats in total
84/140 x 100 = 60%

theater C has 180 seats in total and 117 of them are filled (180-63 = 117)
117/180 x 100 = 65%
