Question

A plane has fees for 420 passengers 15% of the seats are empty how many passengers are on the plane​

Answer 1

Answer:

357 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{420}=\frac{85}{100}$ (The $\frac{85}{100}$ is 85% of the 100% people because 15% is missing)

When you cross-simplify you get: $\frac{x}{21}=\frac{85}{5}$ which is $\frac{x}{21}=17$

Finally, multiply 17 by 21 to get x.

Therefore, x=357
