Answer:50%

Step-by-step explanation: The correct way to calculate what percentage more attended the play is to first subtract the expected number from the actual number. 15 - 10 = 5 more attended than was expected. Next, you need to divide the 5 additional people by the 10 that were originally expected. 5 divided by 10 = 50%
