Question

there are 15 rooms in a hotel and no more than 5 people can stay in each room. What is the difference between the largest and smallest amount of guests can the hotel accommodate

Answer 1

The difference is 60.

Explanation:

Since no more than 5 people can stay in each of the 15 rooms, we can multiply these numbers to get the largest amount of guests.

5 x 15 = 75

We assume the smallest amount can be 1 person in each of the 15 rooms.

1 x 15 = 15

We then subtract the smallest from the largest to find the difference.

75 - 15 = 60
