Answer :
To find a percentage of a number, turn the percent into a decimal by dividing by 100, then multiply that decimal by the number.
82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
0.82 × 950 = 779
Now, to find the number of seats not occupied, you subtract the percentage that is occupied from the whole.
779 is 82% of 950, so 779 will be subtracted from 950
950 - 779 = 171
171 seats are not occupied.
82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
0.82 × 950 = 779
Now, to find the number of seats not occupied, you subtract the percentage that is occupied from the whole.
779 is 82% of 950, so 779 will be subtracted from 950
950 - 779 = 171
171 seats are not occupied.
First, let's find out how many of the seats are occupied.
82% of 950 = 0.82 * 950 = 779
So 779 seats were occupied, now subtract this from the total seats to find out how many seats are not occupied.
950 - 779 = 171
So 171 seats are not occupied.
Another way to do this is to find the percentage of seats that are not occupied.
82% are, so subtract it from the total, 100%
100% - 82% = 18%
Now find 18% of 950.
0.18 * 950 = 171
82% of 950 = 0.82 * 950 = 779
So 779 seats were occupied, now subtract this from the total seats to find out how many seats are not occupied.
950 - 779 = 171
So 171 seats are not occupied.
Another way to do this is to find the percentage of seats that are not occupied.
82% are, so subtract it from the total, 100%
100% - 82% = 18%
Now find 18% of 950.
0.18 * 950 = 171
