Question

During the week of a convention, there were 608 occupied hotel rooms and 342 unoccupied hotel rooms in Lindsey's city. What percentage of the hotel rooms in the city were occupied during the convention?

Answer 1

Answer:

64%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Occupied = 608

UnOccupied = 342

The total number of room is the sum of these 2. So

Total Room = 608 + 342 = 950 rooms

To find percentage of rooms that were occupied, we have to divide the occupied number of rooms by the total number of rooms. Then we have to multiply that answer by 100 to get the "percentage". let's do this:

$\frac{608}{950}=0.64$

Then

$0.64*100=64$

So, 64% of the rooms were occupied.
