Question

Atlantic auditorium has 850 seats. Tickets were sold for 816 of the seats. For what percent of the seats were the tickets sold?

Answer 1

96 percent of the seats were the tickets sold.

Explanation:

Given:

Atlantic auditorium has 850 seats. Tickets were sold for 816 of the seats.

Now, to find percent of the seats of the tickets sold.

Total number of seats = 850.

Tickets sold for the total seats = 816.

So, to find the percent of the seats of the tickets sold:

`(816)/(850)* 100`

`=0.96* 100`

`=96\%.`

Therefore, 96 percent of the seats were the tickets sold.
