A stadium has 48750 seats. During a concert 3/5 of the seats were filled in the first hour, and another 6200 people entered in the second hour. How many seats remained empty after the second hour?
Answer: 13300 seats remained empty after the second hour.
Step-by-step solution
Step 1: Calculate seats filled in the first hour
First, we need to determine how many seats were filled during the first hour. The problem states that 3/5 of the total seats were filled. So, we multiply the total number of seats by this fraction.
Step 2: Calculate total seats filled
After calculating the seats filled in the first hour, we add the number of people who entered in the second hour to find the total number of seats occupied.
Step 3: Calculate remaining empty seats
Finally, to find the number of empty seats, we subtract the total number of filled seats from the stadium's total capacity.
