on the opening night of a new movie a local movie theater sold 540 tickets and filled 80% of the seats in the theater how many seats are in the movie theater
To find out how many seats are in the movie theater, we need to first calculate how many seats were filled on the opening night.
80% of the seats were filled, so 80% of x (total number of seats) is equal to 540 tickets sold.
We can set up the following equation to solve for x:
0.80x = 540
Divide both sides by 0.80:
x = 540 / 0.80
x = 675
Therefore, there are 675 seats in the movie theater.
