Question

Before a renovation a movie theater had 117 seats after the renovation theater had 173 what is the approximate percentage increase of the number of seats in the theater if necessary round to the nearest 10th in percentage

Answer 1

47.86%

Explanation:

Total number of seats in a movie theater Before a renovation = 117

Total number of seats in a movie theater after a renovation = 173

We need to find the percentage increase of the number of seats. It can be calcualted as :

`\%=\frac{\textfinal number-initial number}{\text{initial number}}* 100\\\\=(173-117)/(117)* 100\\\\=47.86\%`

So, the increase in percentage is 47.86%.
