Total seats = 640. Orchestra : Balcony = 5 : 3.
[[model:questions/solutions/q10510.png]]
Total units = 5 + 3 = 8 units
• 8 units → 640
• 1 unit → 640 ÷ 8 = 80
• Orchestra = 5 units = 5 × 80 = 400
• Balcony = 3 units = 3 × 80 = 240
Now find empty seats in each section:
Orchestra — occupied : empty = 9 : 1, so empty orchestra = \( \frac{1}{10} \) × 400 = 40
Balcony — occupied : empty = 5 : 3, so empty balcony = \( \frac{3}{8} \) × 240 = 90
Total empty seats = 40 + 90 = 130
Check: Occupied orchestra = 360, occupied balcony = 150. 40 + 90 + 360 + 150 = 640. ✓
Final Answer: 130
