Question

The Arthur Ashe Tennis Stadium in New York has a seating capacity of 22,500 people. Of these seats, 1.13% are wheelchair-accessible seats. How many seats in the stadium are wheelchair accessible? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

254 seats

Explanation:

Wheelchair-accessible seats=% of seating capacity

Normal seats=Total seats-(wheelchair-accessible seats)

Given that wheel-chair accessible seats are 1.13%, the normal seats will take 100-1.13%=98.87%

Normal seats=98.87% of 22,500

=98.87*22500/100=22245.75 seats

Rounding off to the next whole number

Normal=22,246 seats

The number of wheelchair-accessible seats= Total seats- Normal seats

wheelchair-accessible seats=22500-22246=254 seats

Therefore, ans=254 seats
