Question

50 seats on a train. 27 of the seats are empty. what is the percentage of the empty seats on the train

Answer 1

27/50= the empty seats in fraction
Which converts to percentage =
27/50 x 2 = 54/100 = 54%

Answer 2

Answer: 54%

Step-by-step explanation

25 is half of 50, so that would be 50%.

To find out the percentage of each seat, divide 100 by 50. You will get 2.

So now we know 2% equals 1 seat on the train. If 27 seats are empty, you would multiply 2% by 27%, giving you 54%.
