                         # of box seats
Percent of Box Seats = ----------------- * 100
                        total # of seats



                               # of reserved seats
Percent of Reserved Seats = ----------------------- * 100
                               total # of seats


Percent of Box Seats = = 32.6 %


Percent of Reserved Seats = = 45.5 %


Note: the percentages normally add to 100%, but in this case, there are more seats that are not considered.
