We were given the following information:
There are 158 empty seats
There are 237 occupied seats
Total number of seats = 395 seats
The percentage of seats that are empty is given by:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{\%}Empty.Seat=\frac{No.of.empty.seat}{Total.number.of.seats}\times100\text{\%} \\ \text{\%}Empty.Seat=\frac{158}{395}\times100\text{\%} \\ \text{\%}Empty.Seat=0.4\times100\text{\%} \\ \text{\%}Empty.Seat=40\text{\%} \\ \\ \therefore\text{\%}Empty.Seat=40\text{\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the percentage of empty seats is 40%
