Answer:

24 Apartments

Explanation:

To get the total amount of people living in the apartment building, you add 101 and 92.

101+91=192 total people

You then divide this total by the amount of people staying in each apartment, which is 8.

192/8=24 apartments

This leaves you with 24 apartments, with 8 people living in each one.
