Humberto Singleton · Answer 1

2/3 of 300 is 200.

200 + 40 = 240.

the total amount of seats minus the amount filled

300 - 240 = 60

That means that there are 60 seats remaining.

Eliana Buck · Answer 2

300 * (2/3) = 200 (Total seats assigned)

200+40=240 (Total seats taken including the 40 band members)

300-240=60 (Seats remaining)

There are 60 seats remaining in the gym.
