Answer :
Answer:
85 less rooms this year than last
Explanation:
The number of rooms (n) occupied for this month last year is given by the Room Revenue ($231,470) divided by the daily rate ($76.72):
[tex]n=\frac{\$231,470}{\$76.72}\\n=3,017\\[/tex]
The number of rooms occupied last year is larger than the number of rooms occupied this year by:
[tex]\Delta n = 3,017-2,932\\\Delta n = 85\ rooms[/tex]
The hotel occupied 85 less rooms this year than last.
