A stadium has 48750 seats. During a concert 3/5 of the seats were filled, and another 6200 people entered. How many seats remained empty?
Answer: 13300 seats remained empty.
Step-by-step solution
Step 1: Calculate seats filled initially
First, we need to find out how many seats were filled initially. The problem states that 3/5 of the total seats were filled. To find this value, we multiply the total number of seats by the fraction 3/5.
Step 2: Calculate total seats filled
After the initial filling, an additional 6200 people entered. To find the total number of seats filled, we add these 6200 people to the number of seats already filled.
Step 3: Calculate empty seats
To find the number of empty seats, we subtract the total number of filled seats from the total capacity of the stadium. This will give us the remaining seats that were not occupied.
