Based on the given problem above, it is said that there are still 17,100 seats that are available. 62% of the tickets are sold, so therefore, 38% of the tickets are not yet sold. Now, we need to find the number of seats in the arena.

Since the 38% = 17,100, we need now to find the 62% to determine the total number of seats. So 17,100 x 100/38 = 45,000. Therefore, the total number of seats of the arena is 45,000.
