An airplane flight has 374 seats. The probability that a person who buys a ticket actually goes on that flight is about 85%. If the airline wants to fill all the seats on the flight, how many tickets should it sell?

Taking into account the definition of ratio and proportion, the airline should sell 440 tickets.

What is ratio and proportion

The ratio is the comparison of two quantities and is measured from the division of two values.

The relationship of equality that exists between two ratios, that is, between two comparisons between two determined quantities, is known as a proportion. So if [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] corresponds to the ratio, then [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{c}{d}[/tex] equals a proportion.

Amount of tickets sold

An airplane flight has 374 seats. The probability that a person who buys a ticket actually goes on that flight is about 85%. The airline wants to fill all the seats (100%) on the flight.

This can be represented by the proportion:

[tex]\frac{374}{85}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{amount of tickets}{100}[/tex]

Solving:

amount of tickets= 100×[tex]\frac{374}{85}[/tex]

amount of tickets= 440

Finally, the airline should sell 440 tickets.
