Question

Your restaurant can seat 150 guests. If 6 tables of 6 are seated, what percent of the restaurant seating is still empty?

Answer 1

76% of the restaurant is still empty

Explanation:

6 tables of 6 seated means there are currently 36 people seated. If the restaurant can seat 150 people, 76% of the restaurant is still empty.

`6*6=36\text \\36/150=0.24\text 24\% of the restaurant is filled\\1-0.24=0.76\text 76\% of the restaurant is not filled`

Answer 2

76%

Explanation:

First, we know that 6 tables of 6 are already seated. We can go ahead and multiply 6 by 6, which is 36.

This means that 36 of the 150 seats are already taken.

But, we want to find the amount of seats that are still empty. So, we subtract 36 from 150 to get 114 seats.

The question is asking for the percentage, so we can divide 114 by 150 seats to get 0.76. Then, we have to move the decimal to the right 2 spaces to get 76%
