A picture hall has seats for 820 persons. At a recent film show, one usher
guessed it was 3/4 full, another that it was 2/3 full. The ticket office reported 648
sales. Which user (first or second) made the better guess?

Answer:
Total number of seats = 820
Sale of total tickets = 648
Number of sold tickets guessed by first usher = 3/4 of 820 = 3/4 x 820 = 615
Number of sold tickets guessed by second usher = 2/3 of 820 = 2/3 x 820 = 1640 = 546.66 ≈ 547
Since, 615 is more close to 648 than 547.
∴ First usher made the better guess.
