If a stadium has 30,000 seats and tickets are sold at $55 each, what percentage of tickets were unsold if the total ticket sales for the game was $1,485,000?

10% of the total tickets was not sold

Explanation:

Total number of seats in the stadium =Total number of tickets produces=30000

Total ticket sales=Cost per ticket×Number of tickets sold

where;

Cost per ticket=$55

Number of tickets sold=N

Total ticket sales=$1,485,000

Replacing in the expression above;

$1,485,000=55×N

N=1,485,000/55

N=27,000 tickets

Number of tickets sold=N=27000 tickets sold

Total number of tickets=Total tickets sold+Total tickets unsold

where;

Total number of tickets=30000

Total tickets sold=N=27000

Total tickets unsold=S

Replacing;

30000=27000+S

S=30000-27000

S=3000 tickets unsold

Percentage of tickets unsold=(Number of tickets unsold/Total number of tickets)×100

(3000/30000)×100=10%

10% of the total tickets was not sold
