Question

Whay is the present occupancy rate of a 555-bed facility that only has 333 inmates booked?

Answer 1

If he was full the occupancy would be 555/555 = 100%
But only 333 rooms are booked, so the occupancy is 333/555 = 0.6 or 60%

Answer 2

Answer:

60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the present occupancy rate of 555-bed facility, that only has 333 inmates booked, we will find 333 is what percent of 555.

To find 333 is what percent of 555 we will divide 333 by 555 and multiply by 100.

$\text{Present occupancy }=\frac{333}{555}\times 100$

$\text{Present occupancy}=0.6\times 100$

$\text{Present occupancy}=60$

Therefore, the present occupancy rate is 60%.
