hope this helps~ :)
Answer is 40%
Yup that's right. :)
To find the percentage of the theater that is filled, you need to divide the number of tickets sold by the total number of seats and then multiply by 100.
Step 1: Calculate the number of seats filled by dividing the number of tickets sold by the total number of seats:
Number of seats filled = Number of tickets sold / Total number of seats = 100 / 250
Step 2: Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage:
Percentage of theater filled = (Number of seats filled / Total number of seats) * 100
Let's calculate it together:
Percentage of theater filled = (100 / 250) * 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40%
Therefore, 40% of the theater is filled.
