3 Before a renovation, a movie theater had 139 seats. After the renovation, the theater has 197 seats. What is the approximate percentage increase of the number of seats in the theater? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Respuesta :

Answer:

41.7%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of increase, we can use the following equation:

[tex]\frac{v_f-v_i}{v_i}\times100[/tex]

Where vf is the final value and vi is the initial value.

So, replacing vf by 197 seats and vi by 139 seats, the approximate percentage of increase is:

[tex]\frac{197-139}{139}\times100=41.7\text{ \%}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is 41.7%
