Question

An hour before showtime, only 198 people are seated for a movie. According to ticket​ sales, 94​% of the people have yet to arrive. How many tickets were sold for the movie​? Explain your thinking

Answer 1

I think musiclover10045 is correct and the answer is 3300

Explanation:

They had divided 198/0.06 to get 3300. I agree with this equation and the end product.

Answer 2

If 94% haven't arrived yet then the 198 people is 6% of the total.

To find the total people divide the number of people who have arrived by the percentage.

Total people = 198/6% = 198/0.06 = 3300

Total people = 3,300
