3.Solve each percent problem
29) A cinema has 240 seats. 144 seats were sold for the current movie. What percent of seats are empty? _%​

Answer 1

Answer:

40 percent seats are empty

Answer 2

$Total \:seats \: in \:a \: cinema \:hall = 240$

$Number \: of \: seats \: sold \: for \: current$

$movie = 144$

$\blue{ Number \: of \: empty \: seats }$

$= Total \:seats - Number \:of \:seats \: sold$

$= 240 - 144$

$= 96$

$Percent \: of \:empty \:seats$

$= \frac{Empty \:seats }{Total \:seats } \times 100$

$= \frac{96}{240} \times 100$

$= 0.4 \times 100$

$= 40 \%$

Therefore.,

$\red{Percent \: of \:empty \:seats}\green { = 40\%}$
