A family go on a skiing holiday to America.
(a) The hotel has 840 rooms. 735 rooms are occupied. Calculate the percentage of rooms that are occupied.
(b) The temperature in the hotel is 21°C. The temperature in the hotel is 26.7°C warmer than at the top of the mountain. The temperature at the top of the mountain is 3.2 °C colder than at the bottom of the mountain. Work out the temperature at the bottom of the mountain.
(c) There are two adults and one child in the family. They hire all their equipment. The child skis for 3 days and snowboards for 4 days. Both adults ski for 7 days. All three of them hire a helmet for 7 days. Work out the total cost of the equipment hire for the family.
