Question

The opera house has 2000 seats. there are 1200 seats on the main floor and 800 in the balcony. 40% of those in the balcony buy a program while 50% of people on the main floor buy a program. on opening night of the lion king, every seat is taken. if an audience member is selected at random, what is the probability that they bought a program?

Answer 1

There is a 46% probability that they bought a program.

600/1200 + 320/800 = 920/2000 = 0.46 = 46%

Hope this helps!
