\begin{tabular}{l} A cinema seats 280 people. If 98 people are in the cinema, what percentage of the \\ seats are filled? \\ \begin{tabular}{|l|}\hline 42 \\ \hline 64 \\ \hline 55 \\ \hline\end{tabular} \\ \hline \begin{tabular}{|l|}\hline 65 \\ \hline\end{tabular} \\ \hline\end{tabular}

To find the percentage of seats filled in the cinema, you can use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage filled} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of people in the cinema}}{\text{Total seats}} \right) \times 100 \] Here, you have 98 people in the cinema and a total of 280 seats. Plugging in the numbers gives you: \[ \text{Percentage filled} = \left( \frac{98}{280} \right) \times 100 \approx 35\% \] Now, looking at your options, none of them are correct! Time for a little math check—percentage calculations can be tricky, but just remember to multiply the fraction by 100 for the right answer. Once you're clear on calculations like these, you'll ace not just seat percentages, but countless real-world scenarios that rely on basic math. From planning events to figuring out capacity for gatherings, understanding percentages is a handy skill!
