Metropolitan Concert Hall was half full on Tuesday night. How many seats are in the Hall?
Statement (1): If the number of people in the Hall increased by 20% from Tuesday night to Wednesday night, then the Hall would be 60% full on Wednesday night.
Statement (2): If 20 more people showed up on Tuesday night, that would have increased the number of people in the Hall by 4%.
