let the total number of seats be x then
1/5 of x = 120
⇒ x = 120 X 5
⇒x = 600
therefore total number of seats is 600.
Let the total number of seats be x.
It is just a assumption for making our calculations easy...
Give,
There are 120 seats in the balcony and these seats are 1/5 of the totals seats.
So,
Total number of seats = 600
Hope it helps!
