Answer 1

On average, 78 leisure travelers check into the McGillian hotel each day, and since they stay for an average of 4 nights, there are approximately 312 leisure guests in the hotel on any given day.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the average number of leisure guests in the McGillian hotel on any given day, we first need to find out how many check in daily. If 35% of guests are leisure travelers and 224 guests check in each day, then the number of leisure guests checking in each day is:

224 guests * 35% = 78.4 guests (since we can't have a fraction of a guest, we'll round to 78 leisure guests checking in per day).

Since leisure travelers stay an average of 4 nights, we would calculate the total number of leisure guests in the hotel on any given day by multiplying the number of new leisure guests by their average stay:

78 guests/day * 4 days = 312 guests.

Therefore, on average, there are 312 leisure guests in the McGillian hotel on any given day.
