Question

During the week of a convention, there were 60,000 occupied hotel rooms and 20,000 unoccupied hotel rooms in Grayson's city. What percentage of the hotel rooms in the city were occupied during the convention? Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

Answer:

20000/60000*100

1/3*100

100/3 = 33.33%

Answer 2

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

60,000 occupied rooms

20,000 unoccupied

total = 60,000 + 20,000 = 80,000

Percentage occupied  =  $\frac{60000}{80000} * 100$  = 150/2 = 75%

Therefore, 75% of hotel rooms in the city were occupied during the convention.
