Question

a picture has seats for 820 person .at a recent film show ,one user guessed it was 3/4 full, another that it was 2/3 full . the ticket office reported 648 sales . which user made the better guess

Answer 1

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.
