b) 107.3%
c) 106.0%
d) 107.0%

Answer 1

To find the inpatient bed occupancy percentage, divide the number of inpatient service days by the number of available beds and multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inpatient bed occupancy percentage for September 10, we need to divide the number of inpatient service days by the number of available beds and multiply by 100. In this case, the number of inpatient service days is 160 and the number of available beds is 150. So the calculation would be:

Occupancy Percentage = (Inpatient Service Days / Available Beds) * 100 = (160 / 150) * 100 = 106.7%
