Question

An auditorium can accommodate 975 persons. About
72% of the available concert tickets were sold. How many
tickets were unsold for the concert?

Answer 1

Total tickets=975
Sold=72%=72/100×975
=702
Unsold=total-sold
=975-702
=273

Hence, 273 tickets were unsold.

HOPE IT HELPS AND A VERY HAPPY DIWALI....

Answer 2

Answer:

273 tickets are unsold.

Explanation:

If an auditorium can accommodate 975 persons then a total of 975 tickets have to be solved.

If 72% of the tickets are already sold then it means that

$\frac{72}{100} * 975\\702$

702 out of 975 tickets are already sold

Now, we have to determine how many tickets are unsold

So, unsold tickets = Total tickets - sold tickets

Unsold tickets =

$975-702\\273$

∴27S tickets are unsold.
