Answer: 76.19\%

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: " A theatre has the capacity to seat people across two levels, the Circle, and the stalls. The ratio of the number of seats in the circle to a number of seats in the stalls is 2:5. Last Friday, the audience occupied all the 528 seats in the circle and \frac{2}{3} of the seats in the stalls. What is the percentage of occupancy of the theatre last Friday?"</h3>

Let be "s" the total number of seats in the Stalls.

The problem says that the ratio of the number of seats in the Circle to the number of seats in the Stalls is 2:5.

Since the number of seats that were occupied last Friday was 528 seats, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{528}{s}

Solving for "s", we get:

s*\frac{2}{5}=528\\\\s=528*\frac{5}{2}\\\\s=1,320

So the sum of the number of seats in the Circle and the number of seats in the Stalls, is:

Total=1,320\ seats+528\ seats=1,848\ seats

 We know that \frac{2}{3} of the seats in the Stalls were occupied. Then, the number of seat in the Stalls that were occupied is:

(1,320)(\frac{2}{3})=880

Therefore, the total number of seats that were occupied las Friday is:

Total\ occupied=880\ seats+528\ seats=1,408\ seats

Knowing this, we can set up the following proportion, where "p" is the the percentage of occupancy of the theatre last Friday:

\frac{100}{1,848}=\frac{p}{1,408}

Solving for "p", we get:

(1,408)(\frac{100}{1,848})=p\\\\p=76.19\%

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

$39.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's determine the sale price before tax:

0.40($60) = $24 is the discount, so

the sale price is $60 - $24, or $36.

Multiplying this result by 1.09 results in the total price, including tax.  It is $39.24.

What is the absolute value of 1.7​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

<h2>|1.7| = 1.7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of absolute value:

|a| = a if a ≥ 0

|a| = -a if a < 0

Examples:

|2| = 2

|-2| = -(-2) = 2

|0.45| = 0.45

|-0.45| = -(-0.45) = 0.45

|1000| = 1000

|-1000| = 1000

Therefore

|1.7| = 1.7
