Question

A soccer stadium had a capacity of 25000 seats, but with the new area built this increased by 20%.

Calculate the number of people in the stadium if on a match only 65% of the seats are occupied.

Answer 1

19,500 people

Explanation:

20% of 25,000 is 5,000.

Add 5,000 to 25,000 - this will give you 30,000. That is a 20% increase.

65% of 30,000 is 19,500, thus there are 19,500 people in the stadium.
