An airplane flight has 228 seats. The probability that a person who buys a ticket actually goes on that flight is about 95%. If the airline wants to fill all the seats on the flight, how many tickets should it sell?

AShow your work.

BShould your answer be more than 228 or less? Explain.

there should be 240 tickets sold

I made a proportion by doing 228/95 and equaling it to x/100

x= the number of seats that needs to be sold

I crossed multiplied
and got
95x=228×100

228×100=22800

95x=22800

then I diveded both sides by 95 and got

x=240

hope this helps :)
