Question 88814: I need help on this problem for my summer honors work. A baseball park has 40,000 seats of which 13,040 are box seats and 18,200 are reserved seats. What percent of the seats are box seats? Reserved seats? I already tried to put 40,000 times X%=13,040 but it gave me the wrong answer so if you could help me i would greatly appreciate it, thank you.
