yes sure, i learned this before so

1. a. make a proportion here, of percentage.
(225)/(250) =(x)/(100) if you cross multiply and divide you get 90%.

1. b. obviously the empty seats would be 10%.

2. a. proportion again,
(0.90)/(6.00) =(x)/(100) cross multiply then divide you ge 15%

3. 30% in decimal form is 0.3. multiply it then to the total amount, so 0.3 x 15 = 4.5
