Before a renovation, a movie theater had 120 seats. After the renovation, the theater has 162 seats. What is the approximate percentage increase of the number of seats in the theater? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth of a percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

35%

(162 - 120) / 120 = 42 / 120 = 0.35 = 35%
