Question

A restaurant has a sign by the front door that says, "Maximum occupancy: 75 people."

What percentage of its capacity is 84 people?

Answer 1

112%

Explanation:

The percentage of its capacity is calculated as

Number of people / Maximum Occupancy × 100%

Number of people = 84 people

Maximum Occupancy = 75 people

Hence:

84 people /75 people × 100

= 1.12 × 100

= 112%

Therefore, the percentage of its capacity that is 84 people is 112 %
