Concessionary ticket holders = 40% of occupied Seats
Required
The number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders
First the number of occupied seat has to be calculated.
[tex]Occupied\ Seats = \frac{5}{9} * 270[/tex]
[tex]Occupied\ Seats = \frac{1350}{9}[/tex]
[tex]Occupied\ Seats = 150[/tex]
Next is to determine the number of seats occupied by concessionary ticket holders.
[tex]Number = 40\%\ of\ occupied\ seats[/tex]
[tex]Number = 40\%\ of\ 150[/tex]
Convert percentage to decimal
[tex]Number = 0.4 * 150[/tex]
[tex]Number = 60[/tex]
Hence, 60 seats were occupied by concessionary ticket holders.
