the plane has seats for 420 passengers 15% of the seats are empty how many passangers are on the plane?

what is 420*(1-.15)?

420 is seats,

To find the number of passengers on the plane, we need to subtract the number of empty seats from the total number of seats.

Step 1: Calculate the number of empty seats.
15% of the seats are empty, so we can find it by multiplying the total number of seats by 15% (0.15).
Empty seats = 420 seats * 0.15 = 63 seats.

Step 2: Calculate the number of passengers on the plane.
To get the actual number of passengers, we need to subtract the number of empty seats from the total number of seats.
Passengers on the plane = Total seats - Empty seats
Passengers on the plane = 420 seats - 63 seats = 357 passengers.

Therefore, there are 357 passengers on the plane.
