You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let n = number of rooms rented
It looks like the figure $28,800 is a fixed price
for the function rooms
given:
+28800+%2F+n+ = rent for 1 room
+%28+%2828800%2Fn%29+-+20%29+%2A6+=+28800+
+172800%2Fn+-+1200+=+28800+
+172800+-+1200n+=+28800n+
+28800n+%2B+1200n+=+172800+

Are you sure the problem was copied right?
I get an answer that makes sense if 600 instead of
6 rooms were rented
