The Greensboro Performing Arts Center (GPAC) has a total capacity of 7,500 seats: 1,900 center seats, 2,400 side seats, and 3,200 balcony seats. The budgeted and actual tickets sold for a Broadway musical show are as follows:

				Percentage Occupied
	Ticket Price			Budgeted Seats			Actual Seats
Center	$	80			80	%		85	%
Side		70			70			75
Balcony		60			75			65

The actual ticket prices were the same as those budgeted. Once a show has been booked, the total cost does not vary with the total attendance.

1. The budgeted and actual sales mix percentages for different types of seats.
