Question

A sports centre has a seating capacity of 600. Seventy-five percent of the seats are occupied. How many seats are unoccupied?

Answer 1

150

Explanation:

100% - 75% = 25%

25% of seats unoccupied

hence,

number of seats unoccupied = 25/100 * 600 = 150

Answer 2

150 are unoccupied

Explanation:

If 75% are occupied, then 100% -75% = 25% are unoccupied

600 *25%

600 *.25

150

150 are unoccupied
