Solution

Let's break down the problem step by step:

Step 1: Let's assume the number of 30seatsisx.Accordingtotheproblem,thereare5030 seats is x. According to the problem, there are 50% fewer 50 seats than 30seats,whichmeansthenumberof30 seats, which means the number of 50 seats is 0.5x.

Step 2: The total number of seats in the theatre is 1050. So, x + 0.5x = 1050. Solving this equation gives us x = 700. So, there are 700 30seatsand35030 seats and 350 50 seats.

Step 3: We know that 90% of the $30 seats were sold, which is 0.9 * 700 = 630 seats.

Step 4: The total amount collected from the sale of 30seatsis63030 seats is 630 * 30 = $18,900.

Step 5: The total collection was 34,650.Ifwesubtracttheamountcollectedfromthe34,650. If we subtract the amount collected from the 30 seats, we get the amount collected from the 50seats,whichis50 seats, which is 34,650 - 18,900=18,900 = 15,750.

Step 6: The number of 50seatssoldis50 seats sold is 15,750 / $50 = 315 seats.

Step 7: The total number of seats sold is 630 (from 30seats)+315(from30 seats) + 315 (from 50 seats) = 945 seats.

Step 8: The number of unsold seats is the total number of seats in the theatre minus the number of seats sold, which is 1050 - 945 = 105 seats.

So, there were 105 seats that were unsold.
