Question

The movie theater has 250 seats, 225 seats were sold for the movie. What percent of the seats were not sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Seats that were not sold = 250 - 225 = 25 seats

Percent of seats that were not sold = (25/250)*100

$=\frac{25}{250}*100$

= 10%

Answer 2

Answer:

D. 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide 250 by 10 to get how many seats are in 10%.

250/10 = 25

Then, divide 225 by 25 to see what percent was taken up.

225/25 = 9

9 x 10 = 90

100 = 90 = 10

Therefore, 10% of the seats were not sold.
