When Ryan walks into the auditorium, there are 5 available seats in the first row, 10 in the second row, and 2 in the third row. Ryan randomly selects a seat.
What is the probability, to the nearest percent, that his seat will be in the first row?
So altogether there are 17 available seats - there are 5 in the first row so you do 5/17 and if you put that into a calculator the answer that you get is 0.29411764705..... round that up to 0.29. 0.29 = 29%
