A big movie theater had 1,200 seats. 864 of the total number of the seats were sold. what percentage of the seats was sold
Reil [10]

Answer:

72%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a big movie theater had 1,200 seats. 864 of the total number of the seats were sold.

To find what percentage of the total seats were sold we will find 864 is what percent of 1200.      

\text{ Percentage of sold seats}=\frac{864}{1200}\times 100

\text{ Percentage of sold seats}=0.72\times 100

\text{ Percentage of sold seats}=72

Therefore, 72% of the total seats were sold.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

f(x) = -3(x - 5)^2 + 4

vertex (5,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -3x² +30x - 71

f(x) = -3(x² +-10x) - 71

f(x) = -3(x² +-10x+5^2-5^2) - 71

f(x) = -3(x² +-10x+5^2) -3(-5^2) - 71

f(x) = -3(x² +-10x+5^2) + 4

f(x) = -3(x - 5)^2 + 4

vertex (5,4)
