Shelter a has a capacity of 300 beds and is 80% occupied. shelter b is 45% occupied. the ratio of the occupancy of shelter a to shelter b is 16: 27. how many beds are in shelter b?

there are 900 beds in shelter B

Step-by-step explanation:

Shelter A has a capacity of 300 beds and is 80% occupied. This means that the number of beds in Shelter A that would be

80/100 × 300 = 0.8 × 300 = 240 beds.

Let x represent the capacity of Shelter B. Shelter B is 45% occupied. It means that number of beds in Shelter B that would be occupied is

45/100 × x = 0.45 × x = 0.45x beds.

Total occupancy of shelter A and shelter B would be

240 + 0.45x

The ratio of the occupancy of shelter A to shelter B is 16:27

Total ratio of occupancy = 16 + 27 = 43

Therefore

27/43 × (240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x

27(240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x × 43 = 19.35x

6480 + 12.15x = 19.35x

6480 = 19.35x - 12.15x = 7.2x

x = 6480/7.2 = 900

Step-by-step explanation:

Occupied beds in shelter A:

The ratio of occupancy is 16 : 27.

Let x be the occupied beds in shelter B, then we have the ratio:

405 is the 45% of all beds in shelter B.

Let the total beds in shelter B is y:
