Question

Out of 600 seniors at a local high school, 60% went on the senior trip. At the hotel, one room was reserved for every 4 students. How many rooms were reserved for the students?

Answer 1

Given:

Total number of senior students = 600

60% went on the senior trip.

One room was reserved for every 4 students.

To find:

The total number of reserved rooms.

Solution:

60% went on the senior trip from total 600 students. So, number of students who went on tripe is

`600* (60)/(100)=360`

Now, one room was reserved for every 4 students. So,

`\text{Required number of rooms}=\frac{\text{Number of students who went on tripe}}{\text{Number of students in room}}`

`\text{Required number of rooms}=(360)/(4)`

`\text{Required number of rooms}=90`

Therefore, the required number of reserved rooms were 90.
