Question

Somone PLEASE answer this thanks!

A movie complex is showing the same movie in three theaters. In theater​ A, 44 of the 80 seats are taken. In theater​ B, 42 seats are taken and 28 seats are empty. In theater​ C, 27 of the 90 seats are empty. Which theater has the greatest percent of its seats​ taken? Which theater has the greatest of its seats taken ?

Answer 1

Theater C

Explanation:

Theater A has 80 seats, 44 of which are taken. 44/80 can be simplified to 11/20, which is 0.55 in decimal form, and 55% in percent form.

Theater B has 70 seats, because 42+28 = 70. 42 of those 70 seats are taken. 42/70 is 60%

Theater C has 90 seats, and because 27 are empty, we can subtract 27 from 90, which leaves us at 63 seats are taken. 63/70 is 70%

70% is the biggest percentage, so Theater C has the greatest seats taken.

I hope this helps! :))
