A middle schooler took all the 6th grader on a field trip to see ballet. The students filled up 570 seats, which was 95% of the totall number of seats in the theater. How many seats were there in total?

The total  number of seats in the theater is 600 seats, if the students filled up 570 seats, which was 95% of the total number of seats in the theater.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                 Seats filled by students are 570 seats

                 Which is 95% of the total number of seats in the theater

Step: 1

                Let, x - Total number of seats available in theater

                Percentage of seats filled, y= 95%

                Seats filled by students = 570

                Formula to calculate total number of seats in theater,

                          95% of seats      

                                         570 =

                                              x =

                                                 = 600

                                              x = 600 seats

Step: 2

            Check for solution,

                            5% of seats  

                                                  = (0.05 × 600)

                                                  = 30 seats

                    Total no. of seats = 5% of seats  + 95% of seats

                                                  = 30 + 570

                                         600 = 600

Result:

           The total  number of seats in the theater is 600 seats.

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
