Here's the solution ~

Number of empty seats is equal to ;

[tex]{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:1000 - 850[/tex]

[tex]{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:150[/tex]

Percentage of empty seats is ;

[tex]{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \: \dfrac{150}{1000} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \: \dfrac{150}{10} [/tex]

[tex]{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \: {15}{} \%[/tex]

Answer:

15%

Skills needed: Percentages

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, let's find out the number of empty seats, and then go onto finding the percent of empty seats.

---> There are 1000 seats, and 850 are full:

------> [tex]100-850=150[/tex] empty seats

2) In order to get a percentage, let's first make a fraction:

[tex]\frac{150}{1000}[/tex] (empty seats over the total # of seats)

---> [tex]\frac{15}{100}[/tex] is the simplified form, and this just means 15%.

(Remember: [tex]x\%=\frac{x}{100}[/tex] --> 2% = [tex]\frac{2}{100}[/tex])
