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

Answer 1

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.
