Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let x be the total number of rooms in the hotel.
From the problem, we know that 50% of rooms are already updated, which means the other 50% are not updated. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
0.5x = 27
Solving for x, we get:
x = 54
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get 54. Therefore, the total number of rooms in the hotel is 54, which is given by choice D. If 50% of guest rooms are updated, then the other 50% are not yet updated. Therefore, if 27 rooms are not yet updated, there must be a total of 54 rooms in the hotel.
