Question

Our new training room can seat 150 employees. If 6 tables consisting of 6 chairs are now taken, what percentage of our new facility’s seating is full?

Answer 1

Answer: 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 6 tables with six chairs at each, multiply 6 x 6, which equals 36.

Only a fraction of the room is full, so you need to create a fraction for this problem. In this case, it would be 36/150 (36 chairs taken, 150 total chairs).

To convert this fraction into a percent, divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply by 100.

36 / 150 = .24 x 100 = 24%
