Question

Before a renovation a movie theater had 117 seats after the renovation theater had 173 what is the approximate percentage increase of the number of seats in the theater if necessary round to the nearest 10th in percentage

Answer 1

Answer:

47.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of seats in a movie theater Before a renovation = 117

Total number of seats in a movie theater after a renovation = 173

We need to find the percentage increase of the number of seats. It can be calcualted as :

$\%=\dfrac{\text{|final number-initial number|}}{\text{initial number}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{173-117}{117}\times 100\\\\=47.86\%$

So, the increase in percentage is 47.86%.
