a theater has 850 seats,60% of which are in the orchestra. how many seats are not orchestra?

850 x .60 = 510

take that number 510 and then
subtract from the original 850 and you will get your answer


850-510= ______?

Note that if you want to find the percentage of a number you have to take the percentage and then divide by 100 then mutiply that by the number you want the percent of.

example:
70% of 200
70% => .70
.70 x 200= 140

and to find the number not included here in the 70% then just subtract the number found from the original number
given, thus:

200- 140= 60

Thanks, that was helpful.

To find out how many seats in the theater are not in the orchestra, we first need to calculate the number of seats in the orchestra.

Step 1: Calculate the number of seats in the orchestra.
Since 60% of the total seats are in the orchestra, we can calculate it as follows:
60% of 850 = (0.60) * 850 = 510 seats in the orchestra.

Step 2: Calculate the number of seats not in the orchestra.
To find out how many seats are not in the orchestra, we subtract the number of seats in the orchestra from the total number of seats:
Total seats - Seats in orchestra = Seats not in orchestra
850 - 510 = 340 seats not in the orchestra.

Therefore, there are 340 seats in the theater that are not in the orchestra.
