To find the number of available rooms, calculate the rooms occupied last night (80% of 260 = 208), subtract the rooms checking out (150), and account for out-of-inventory rooms (5). This gives 260 - 208 + 150 - 5 = 197 available rooms. Subtract guaranteed reservations (100) and 6pm reservations (80) from available rooms: 197 - 100 - 80 = 17.
