The movie theater has 250 seats. 225 seats were sold for the current showing. What percent of the seats are empty?

The answer is 10 percent. The 225 seats make up 90 percent out of the 250 seats. To find this calculation, take 225 x 100 then divide that by 250, you should get 90. Since 100% is 250, take 100% - 90% to find 10% which is the amount of empty seats.
