A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a symphony at a theater that has 2000 seats. The students filled 320 of the seats in the theater. What percentage of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip?
There are 2000 seats in total but 320 of them are being taken by the students so 320seats out of or divided by the total 2000. 320/2000 is 0.16 and 0.16 as a percent is 16%
