Let, number of double rooms and single rooms are d and s.

d + s = 26 ....1 )

Hotel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $27 per day.

34d + 27s = 807 ....2)

Solving equation 1 and 2, we get :

34( 26 - s ) + 27s = 807

884 - 34s + 27s = 807

7s = 77

s = 11

And d = 26 - 11 = 15

Therefore, number of double rooms and single rooms are 15 and 11.

Hence, this is the required solution.
