Question

There are 700 hotel rooms in hansens city. During a convention, 287 of the hotel rooms were occupied. What percentage of the hotel rooms in the city were occupied during the convention?

Answer 1

To find this percentage, what we do is to divide the number of occupied rooms by the total number of rooms and then multiply this result by 100%. This is:

`(287)/(700)\cdot100\%=41\%`

Therefore, the percentage of the hotel rooms in the city that were occupied during the convention was 41%.
