Answer 1

Answer:

Solutions given:

[100%-97%]=266people

7% =266people

Each people is 1 ticket.

266 people =266tickets

so

7% of people=266ticket

100% of people =266/7×100=3800tickets

3800tickets were sold for the movie

Answer 2

Answer:

3800 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

total people seated:266

yet to come:93%

so the percentage of people who have arrived is 100%-93%=7%

and one ticket for each people

therefore,

$\displaystyle \begin{array}{ccc} \displaystyle \rm7\% \quad \text{People} \implies266 \: \text{tickets} \\ \displaystyle100 \%\: \quad \imath \imath \implies \frac{266}{7\%} \: \: \: \: \imath \imath \\ \\ \qquad \displaystyle \qquad\rm as \: \% = \frac{1}{100} \longleftarrow \frac{266}{ \dfrac{7}{100} } \\ \\ \displaystyle \rm \: by \: simplifying \: complex \: fraction\longleftarrow 266 \times \frac{100}{7} \\ \rm reduce \: fraction \longleftarrow 38 \times 100 \\ \rm simplify \:multiplication \longleftarrow3800\end{array}$

hence,

3800 tickets were sold for the movie
