Question

Hey can you help me with this quick equation ?

Answer 1

We were given the following information:

There are 158 empty seats

There are 237 occupied seats

Total number of seats = 395 seats

The percentage of seats that are empty is given by:

`\begin{gathered} \text{\%}Empty.Seat=(No.of.empty.seat)/(Total.number.of.seats)*100\text{\%} \\ \text{\%}Empty.Seat=(158)/(395)*100\text{\%} \\ \text{\%}Empty.Seat=0.4*100\text{\%} \\ \text{\%}Empty.Seat=40\text{\%} \\ \\ \therefore\text{\%}Empty.Seat=40\text{\%} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the percentage of empty seats is 40%
