The stadium can hold up to 59,444 people approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people who attended the game = 42,800

The percentage of seats that were occupies = 72%

Let M be the total capacity of the stadium.

Now here, according to the question

72% of M = 42,800

or,

or, M =

Hence, the stadium can hold up to 59,444 people approximately.

59444 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total capacity of of the stadium be x

A total of 48200 people attended a football match = 72% of the stadium's total capacity.

When the stadium is full, it is 100%

So 72% of x = 42800

= 72/100 × x= 42800

0.72x =42800

x= 42800/0.72

=59444 people
