Answer:

4260 seats in the theater

Step-by-step explanation:

We write the equation 0.45x=1917, with x representing the total number of seats.

Multiply both sides by 100, we get 45x=191700.

Divide both sides by 45, we get x=191700/45

x=4260.

There are 4260 seats in the theater.

How to calculate percentage?

Here we have given that the 1917 seats is 45% of the total seats

Let the total number of seats available in theater is = x

Then 45 % of x = 1917

0.45 x = 1917

Multiply both the sides by 100 we have

45 x = 1917x100

x = [tex]\frac{191700}{45}=4260[/tex]

The final answer is 4,260 seats
