Question

A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a symphony. The students filled 300 seats, which was 10% of the total number of seats in the theatre. How many total seat were in the theatre?

Answer 1

3,000

Explanation:

Basically, there are 300 seats filled which is 10%

100% is 10x10

300=10%

multiply both sides by 10

300x10=3000 and 10x10=100

therefore, the total number of seats is 3000 since 100% represents the whole thing.
