In a \(200\) seat movie theatre, \(126\) seats were occupied.
What percent of the seats were occupied?
Solution
\(\dfrac{126}{200}\)
\(\dfrac{126}{200} = \dfrac{\boxed {\phantom \square}}{100}\)
Notice that \(200 \div 2 = 100\).
The missing numerator must be equal to
\(126 \div 2 \class{timed in5}{ = 63 }\)
Therefore, \(63 \%\) of the seats were occupied in the theatre.
\(\begin{align*} \dfrac{126}{200} \implies 126 \div 200 & \; \class{timed in9}{= 0.63} \\ & \; \class{timed in10}{= \dfrac{63}{100} } \end{align*}\)
In the first year of the school music concert, \(60\) people attended the concert.In the second year, \(135\) people attended the concert.
Kiyoko thinks this represents a \(125\% \) increase in attendance.
Maddie thinks the second year's attendance is \(225\%\) of the first year's attendance.
