Answer 1

100-40=60(%) - составляет 78 пассажиров
78*100:60=130( пас.) - вмещает самолёт

Answer 2

Calculation of the Number of Passengers the Plane Can Accommodate

To determine the number of passengers the plane can accommodate, we need to calculate the total number of seats on the plane. We are given that when 78 passengers took their seats, 40% of all seats remained unoccupied.

Let's denote the total number of seats on the plane as x. According to the given information, 40% of x seats were unoccupied when 78 passengers took their seats. This means that 60% of x seats were occupied by the passengers.

To calculate the number of passengers the plane can accommodate, we can set up the following equation:

0.6x = 78

Solving this equation will give us the value of x, which represents the total number of seats on the plane.

Let's solve the equation:

0.6x = 78

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.6:

x = 78 / 0.6

Using a calculator, we find that x ≈ 130.

Therefore, the plane can accommodate approximately 130 passengers.
