Well first of all we would have to find 1% of the total seats
but first we need to understand that 38% arent sold, and there are 17,100 left. So to find 1 % we divide 17,100 and 38 so lets do that math:)
17,100 ÷ 38 = 450
so now we know that 1% = 450 seats
lets multiply that by 100 to get how many seats that are in the arena...
450 x 100 = 45,000
so there are 45,000 seats in the arena
hope this helps:)
and don't forget 2
