1. math
85%=85/100=0.85
85% of 1600=0.85*1600=1360 seats sold

2. logic+math
85%=85 parts out of every 100
how many hundreds are ther in 1600?
16 of them
16*85=1360

answer is 1360 tickets were sold

Answer 2

The total number of  tickets were sold is 1360.

Organizing the information given in the statement we have that:

• 85% of all seats sold
• 85% of 1600

How to calculate the percentage of an amount?

The percentage represents a value divided by 100. In this way, saying 25% of a value is the same as saying 25 out of 100, that is, 25 divided by 100.

So calculated the value of tickets sold:

$85\%=85/100=0.85\\85\% of 1600\\=0.85*1600=1360$
