Answer:
The total number of seats in the arena is 45000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of seats in the arena be x.
It is given that 62% of the tickets are sold. it means 38% seats are still available.
A total of 17,100 seats are still available for the next hockey game.
[tex]\frac{38}{100}x=17100[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 100.
[tex]38x=1710000[/tex]
Divide both sides by 38.
[tex]x=\frac{1710000}{38}[/tex]
[tex]x=45000[/tex]
The value of x is 45000. Therefore the total number of seats in the arena is 45000.
