Question

A stadium currently has a seating capacity of 15 400 seats. Calculate the number of people in the stadium when 75% of the seats occupied.

Answer 1

11,550 people are in the stadium when 75% of the seats are occupied.

Explanation:

To solve this, we first need to set up our equation to solve the percent.

Our equation is:
`(75)/(100) = (x)/(15400)`

To solve, we do cross multiplication.

75*15,400=100x

Now, multiply

1,155,000=100x

Now, divide both sides by 100 to get x by itself.

1,155,000/100=100/100x

11,550= x

As such, 11,550 people are in the stadium when 75% of the seats are occupied.

Answer 2

11,550.

Explanation:

Since we are trying to find the number of people in the stadium, we just need to find 75% of 15,400.(The reason is because each seat is for each person)

To calculate this, you have to:

0.75 x 15,400(The percentage is converting a whole number into decimal)

11,550. (And after you solve it, here is the answer)

Hope you have a nice day!!
