Question

A classroom will seat 80 people. If 56 seats are filled, what percentage of the seats are filled?

Answer 1

Divide the seats filled by the total amount of seats of the classroom.

$\frac{56}{80} = 0.7$

Multiply this result by 100 to find the percentage.

$0.7 * 100 = 70$

The classroom has 70% of the seats filled.
