thatwas wrong , But THANK YOU ( :

Answer 3

set up a proportion
if 5/8 of the 45,000 seats are sold,then

5/8 = x/45,000
then cross multiply or use cross products, so
5(45,000) = 8x
225,000 = 8x
----------- --- (divide by 8)
8 8
28,125 = x <== that is 5/8 of the seats, or how many are sold. To find out how many are available, subtract the number of seats already sold (28,125) from the number of seats there are in the stadium (45,000)
so,
45,000 - 28,125 = 16875 seats are still available.
