You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+35%2A75+-+225+=+2625+-+225+
+2625+-+225+=+2400+
They make $2,400 on thursday
---------------------------
+2%2A2400+=+4800+
Let +n+ = number of rooms they
would have to rent the next day
+n%2A75+-+225+=+4800+
+75n+=+5025+
+n+=+67+
They would have to rent 67 rooms the next day
