Metropolitan Concert Hall was half full on Tuesday night.

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%.

I agree with Java_85.

1) Multiple possible solutions, so Insufficient
2) Can solve for a single value of seats in the hall, so Sufficiency

Answer B
