Question

A concert venue sold tickets for 0.7 of its 500 seats. How many tickets were sold?

Answer 1

350 tickets

Explanation:

This can be solved simply by multiplying 500 by 0.7 = 350

Or you can interpret it as: 0.7 = 70% of 500

And 500 by 100 to get 1% (5 = 1%) and then multiply that by 70 to get 70%.

5 x 70 = 350

Hope this helped!
