Question:

A cinema can hold 270 people at one performance 5/9 of the seats were occupied of the occupied seats 40% we occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

What is the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders?.

Answer:

60 seats

Explanation:

Given

Number of seats = 270

Occupied Seats = 5/9

Concessionary ticket holders = 40% of occupied Seats

Required

The number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders

First the number of occupied seat has to be calculated.

`Occupied\ Seats = (5)/(9) * 270`

`Occupied\ Seats = (1350)/(9)`

`Occupied\ Seats = 150`

Next is to determine the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders.

`Number = 40\%\ of\ occupied\ seats`

`Number = 40\%\ of\ 150`

Convert percentage to decimal

`Number = 0.4 * 150`

`Number = 60`

Hence, 60 seats were occupied by concessionary ticket holders.
