Answer 1

Answer:

60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the present occupancy rate of a 555-bed facility that only has 333 inmates booked.

The total number of beds is 555 and 333 beds are occupied by inmates. So we will find out 333 is what percent of 555.

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

Upon dividing 333 by 555 we will get,

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

$\text{Present occupancy rate}=60\%$

Therefore, present occupancy rate is 60%.
