Respuesta :

Answer:

The total number of people at the movie theatre is 700.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

[tex]Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}[/tex]

As given

At the movie theatre 30% of the audience members were children.

If the number of children at the movie theatre was 210.

Percentage = 30%

Part value =  210

Put in the formula

[tex]30 = \frac{210\times 100}{Total\ value}[/tex]

[tex]Total\ value = \frac{21000}{30}[/tex]

Total value = 700

Therefore the total number of people at the movie theatre is 700.
