Question

A theater can seat 160 people . If the theater is 60%full, how many more can fit in the theater

Answer 1

Answer:

64 people can fit in the theater.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 60% is full then calculate how many people is it

$\frac{60}{100} \times 160 = 96 \\ 160 - 96 = 64$

64 is 40% of 160

So this many people can be accommodated in the theater

Answer 2

Answer:

64 more people can fit in the theater

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find 60% of 160

10%=16 (divided by 10)

16×6=96

160 (total people)-96(60%)=64
