How many seats are currently taken? ** 500/ 2/5 = 200 seats are already taken.
How many seats are broken? ** 500/ 1/10 = <<500/1/10=50>>50 seats are broken.
How many seats are either taken or broken? ** So 200 + 50 = <<200+50=250>>250 seats are either taken or broken.
How many seats are still available? ** Therefore, 500 - 250 = <<500-250=250>>250 seats are still available.
