375 chairs

500 (.75) = 375

Kendrick Merritt · Answer 2

The way I do these kind of problems, just because it's easier to me unless I have a calculator.

500/5 = 100. Get it to 100 and the fractions are less of a problem.

3/4 of 100 is 75. Now multiply 75 by 5, and you get 375.

375 of the chairs have people in them
