Answer 1

C. 1,615 seats

Explanation:

To find out how many tickets were sold at the Opera House, you need to calculate 95% of the total number of seats.

95% of 1,700 seats can be found by multiplying 1,700 by 0.95:

1,700 * 0.95 = 1,615

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 1,615 seats were sold at the Opera House.
