A motel charges 80.00 per day for double occupancy and 70 pr day for single occupancy. If 80 rooms are occupied one night for a total of 5800.00 how many rooms of each type are occupied?
Ok I am goint to define as the number of single occupancy rooms. And what this tells us is that is the number of double occupancy rooms.
So now we set up the equation.
So it is the number of single occupancy rooms times the single rate + the number of double occupancy rooms times the double rate = to the total amount made by the hotel.
Solving the equation.
Subtract 6400 from both sides.
And divide both sides by -10.
this tells us that there were 60 single occupancy rooms since I defined as single occupancy. And double occupancy was , so So there must be 20 double occupancy rooms.
