Answer 1

By working with percentages, we will see that there are 1,080 seats in the theater.

How many total seats were in the theater?

We know that the students filled 702 seats, leaving 35% vacant.

Then 702 seats represents the (100% - 35% = 65%) of the total number of seats.

So, if the total number of seats is S, we can write:

(65%/100%)*S as the 65% of S.

Then we solve:

(65%/100%)*S = 702

0.65*S = 702

S = 702/0.65 = 1,080

There are 1,080 seats in the theater.
