A hotel has 40 rooms and operates for 30 days in a month. In that month, 960 room-days were occupied. What is the occupancy percentage?
Occupancy is 80 percent. Available room-days are 40 rooms times 30 days, giving 1,200, and 960 occupied room-days divided by 1,200 gives 0.80.
- A75%
- B80%Correct
- C85%
- D96%
Explanation
Available room-days = 40 x 30 = 1,200. Occupancy = 960/1,200 x 100 = 80%. The 75% figure wrongly uses 1,280 as the base, and 96% divides by 1,000.
