(c) 55%
(d) 45%​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think average is 66percent

Answer 2

Answer:

(c) 55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of 3 months 88% i.e. say, if there are 100 rooms in total; 88 rooms are occupied on per month for the time of summer season.

Hence, total rooms occupied for 3 months = 3 x 88 = 264.

For rest of the 9 months in a year, on average 44% is occupied (i.e. 44 out of 100 rooms).

Hence, total rooms occupied for 9 months = 9 x 44 = 396.

Therefore, overall rooms occupied a year   = 396 + 264 = 660.

This leads to an average occupancy for the whole year being 660/12 = 55 per 100 rooms in the hotel.

In percentage = (55/100) x 100 = 55%.
