An hour before show time, only 228 people are seated for a musical performance. according to ticket sales, 94% of the people have yet to arrive. how many tickets were sold for the musical performance? explain your thinking.

We know the number of people seated, and we know the percentage of total ticket sales that represents. So, we can find the total number of tickets sold.

seated + not-arrived = total sold

228 + 0.94 × total sold = total sold

228 = 0.06 × total sold . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.94 × total sold

228/0.06 = total sold = 3800

There were 3800 tickets sold for the performance.
