1. there were 136 students and 34 adults in the concert. if 85% of the seats were filled how many seats are in the auditorium?
2. 40% = 32/x

1. 136+34= 170 total concertgoers. If we divide 170 by 85, we get 2; so each percentage point equals 2. Multiply 2 by a hundred and you get 200 people in total

2. Is this question to solve for X? in that case, we can solve it easier in the form [tex] \frac{40}{100} = \frac{32}{x} [/tex]

then we try and dive them the same numerator by multiplying each by the other: [tex] \frac{12800}{32000} = \frac{12800}{40x} [/tex]

This tells us that [tex]32000 = 40x[/tex]

so [tex]x=80[/tex].
