Question

. On the opening night of a new movie, a local movie theater sold 630 tickets and filled 90% of the seats in the theater. How many seats are in the movie theater?

Answer 1

700 seats

Explanation:

- If 630 tickets filled 90% of the seats,
`x` tickets filled 100% of the seats

multiply 630 by 630 tickets = 90/100

- Set up a proportion

630 tickets/90 =
`x` tickets/100

`x` = 700 tickets = 700 seats
