\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "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.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "So now we set up the equation.
\n" );
document.write( " 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.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Solving the equation.
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " Subtract 6400 from both sides.
\n" );
document.write( " And divide both sides by -10.
\n" );
document.write( " 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. \n" );
