Question

A theatre has the capacity to seat people accross two levels, the circle and the stalls.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so, we need need to lay down the clues we were given

●Ratio of the seats= 2:5

● No.of seats in the circle

●Fraction of seats occupied for the stalls

Now, let us take a closer look at the ratio;

C: S Total

2:5 7

As we can see, the number of parts for the circle is 2 parts.

So ,

2 parts = 528 seats

1 part= 528/2= 264 seats

5 parts= 1 320 seats

7 parts= 264 × 7 = 1 848

Finally,

We can now find the seats occupied by the stalls,

2/3 × 1 320

= 880 seats

Seats of circle + Seats of stall

= 528 + 880= 1408

Percentage Occupancy

=

1408/1 848 × 100

Note: The answer will come in decimal numbers.

It will be,

76.1904761905

or

76.19%
