Question

A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a ballet at a theater that has 2500 seats. The students filled 2275 of the seats in the theater. What percentage of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip?

Answer 1

The answer should be 91%

Answer 2

91 % of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of seats = 2500

Number of seats occupied = 2275

Percentage of seats filled = 2275/2500 * 100

= 91%

91 % of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip.

The percentage is taken out by dividing the number of seats occupied with the total number of seats available and multiplying it with 100.
