Question

There are 900 seats on a train. 540 of the seats are empty. What percentage of the seats on the train are empty?

Answer 1

60% of the seats on the train are empty

you have to divide 900 by 9 to get 100 because percents are out of 100, then you have to divide 540 by 9 also.

Answer 2

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there are 540 empty, and 900 total, you need to divide 540 by 900.

540/900=54/90=6/10=60/100

When you get 60/100, or 0.6, you know that it is 60 percent because percent is out of 100.
