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 can use the information given that 80% of the seats were filled with 540 tickets sold.

Let the total number of seats in the theater be x.

80% of x = 0.8x

0.8x = 540

x = 540 / 0.8

x = 675

So, there are 675 seats in the movie theater.
