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 x 300 = 0.8 x 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 x = 0.45 x 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 x (240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x
27(240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x x 43 = 19.35x =
6480 + 12.15x = 19.35x
6480 = 19.35x - 12.15x = 7.2x
x = 6480/7.2 = 900

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 x 300 = 0.8 x 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 x = 0.45 x 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 x (240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x
27(240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x x 43 = 19.35x =
6480 + 12.15x = 19.35x
6480 = 19.35x - 12.15x = 7.2x
x = 6480/7.2 = 900
