If a theatre holds 1,200 people, and sells 2/3 of its seats, how many tickets does it sell?

Solution:

Number of people the theatre holds = 1200

We have to find the tickets sold.

It is given that 2/3 of its seats are sold. This is expressed in fraction as 2/3(1200)

Tickets sold = 2/3 of its seats

Here we have to multiply 2/3 of its seats with 1200 to determine the exact number

⇒2/3 × 1200

= 2 × 400

= 800

Therefore, the tickets sold are 800.

If a theatre holds 1,200 people, and sells 2/3 of its seats, how many tickets does it sell?

Summary:

If a theatre holds 1,200 people, and sells 2/3 of its seats, the tickets sold are 800.
