A stadium has a seating capacity of 15400.

a) calculate the number of people in the stadium when 75% of the seats are occupied.

b) the stadium is to be renovated with the new seating capacity of 20790 seats. After the renovation, what will be the percentage increase in the number of seats?

a) 11550

b) 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to multiply the stadium capacity by the percentage in decimal form (75/100)

a) 15400 x (75/100) = 11,550

For b), we know that 15400 is the 100% of the capacity, so, for 20790 the percentage will be:

15400/100 = 20790/x

Solving for x

x = 20790 / 154

x = 135%

135%-100% = 35%

The percentage increase in the number of seats will be 35%
