Question

A cat adoption facility takes in an average of 6 cats per day. The facility has to keep their cat occupancy below 300. Currently, the facility has 252 cats. If none of their cats get adopted, how many more days, x, can the facility continue to take in cats?

Answer 1

The facility has a current occupancy of 252 cats, and it needs to keep its occupancy below 300. Therefore, the facility can take in at most:

300 - 252 = 48 more cats

If the facility takes in 6 cats per day, it can take in 48 more cats in:

48 cats ÷ 6 cats per day = 8 days

Therefore, the facility can continue to take in cats for 8 more days before reaching its maximum occupancy of 300 cats.

Answer 2

The facility has a current occupancy of 252 cats, and it needs to keep its occupancy below 300. Therefore, the facility can take in at most:

300 - 252 = 48 more cats

If the facility takes in 6 cats per day, it can take in 48 more cats in:

48 cats ÷ 6 cats per day = 8 days

Therefore, the facility can continue to take in cats for 8 more days before reaching its maximum occupancy of 300 cats.
