Help Meh! 

 

My brain is shutting down.

 

The following table shows the number of rented rooms last night and the total number of rooms for each hotel in a small city.

 

Hotel                        Rented rooms                         Total rooms

#1                             36                                          45

#2                             24                                          32

#3                            15                                           18

 

Order the hotels by the percentage of rooms rented from least to greatest.

I've got you dude (dudett).

 

So each hotel has it's OWN percentage, meaning that you'll be ordering three items. The simplest way to find a percentage is by dividing the rented rooms by the total rooms then multiplying that by 100 and slapping that percentage sign next to your resulting answer.

 

Hotel one had 80% of it's rooms rented out since (36/45)x100= 80

 

Hotel two had 75% of it's rooms rented out due to (24/32)x100= 75

 

Hotel three had 83.33% of it's rooms rented out cuz (15/18)x100=83.3333333333333...

 

You can order these. Good luck, I hope this was of aid.
