Question

There are a total of 840 seats in a school auditorium. During an assembly, students occupied 50 % of the seats in the auditorium. How many seats did the students occupy during this assembly?

Accepted Answer

Choice C is correct. It's given that during an assembly, students occupied 50 % of the 840 seats in the school auditorium. Therefore, the number of seats that the students occupied during this assembly can be calculated by multiplying the number of seats in the school auditorium by 50 100 . Thus, the students occupied 840 50 100 , or 420 , seats during this assembly. Choice A is incorrect. This is approximately 3 % , not 50 % , of 840 . Choice B is incorrect. This is approximately 6 % , not 50 % , of 840 . Choice D is incorrect. This is approximately 94 % , not 50 % , of 840 .
