Question

Eight hundred tickets are sold for a play. Thirty-five percent of those tickets were sold in advance. Which equation can be used to find the number of tickets sold in advance?

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

All you have to do is find 35% of 800

Remember that you have to change the percent to decimal

35% = 0.35

0.35 × 800 = 280

Your answer is 280 tickets ; 0.35 × 800

Hope this helps :)
