Question

The circus had one performance. At Joe Louis Arena and one at Atlantic Auditorium. Joe Louis Arena had 1600 seats. Tickets for 85% of the total number of seats were sold. How many tickets were sold

Answer 1

So in a fraction, btw this is the 6th grade way, u setup two fractions like this
? 85
-------- = ---------
1600 100

Then you need to cross multiply 1600x85 then divide the answer by 100.
