Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

A = the unknown number that we need to find

A x 13/100 = 65

=> A x 13 = 6500

=> A = 6500 / 13

=> A = 500

13% of 500 is 65.

Let's check whether the answer is correct or not.

=> 500 x 13/100

=> 5 x 13

=> 65.

So, the number whose 13% is 65 is 500

A basketball stadium holds 18500 seats. 65% of the seats are in the lower bowl and 35% of the seats are in the upper bowl. A low

Doss [256]

The restrictions are:

1) x ≥ 0

2) number of lower bowl seats = 65% * 18500 = 12,025

=> x ≤ 12,025

3) y ≥ 0

4) number of upper bowl seats = 35% * 18500 = 6,475

=> y ≤ 6,475

It is not necessary to state that x + y ≤ 18,500 because it is included in the other restrictions.
