If you have 200 people staying in a hotel for four nights each, and 100 people staying an additional night, how many rooms nights will you have?
Correct Answer
900Explanation
If there are 200 people staying in a hotel for four nights each, that would be a total of 200 * 4 = 800 room nights. Additionally, if 100 people are staying an additional night, that would be 100 * 1 = 100 room nights. Therefore, the total number of room nights would be 800 + 100 = 900.Rate this question:

If you sign a hotel guest room contract for 350 people to stay for four nights each but on the final night you actually use 1300 rooms, what's your attrition?
- A.
350 rooms
- B.
350 room nights
- C.
100 room nights
Correct Answer
C. 100 room nightsExplanation
Attrition refers to the difference between the number of rooms contracted and the number of rooms actually used. In this case, the contract was for 350 people to stay for four nights each, which would result in a total of 350 room nights (350 rooms x 4 nights). However, on the final night, 1300 rooms were actually used. Therefore, the attrition is calculated by subtracting the actual number of room nights used (1300) from the contracted number of room nights (350), resulting in an attrition of 100 room nights.Rate this question:

If you sign a contract for 1400 room nights by your ___________ but actually use 1375 room nights, then your __________ is __________ room nights.
- A.
Cut-off date, attrition, 25
- B.
Contract, overage, 25
- C.
Attorney, contract, 1375
Correct Answer
A. Cut-off date, attrition, 25Explanation
When signing a contract for 1400 room nights by a cut-off date, there is an agreement in place. However, if only 1375 room nights are actually used, then the attrition comes into play. Attrition refers to the difference between the contracted number of room nights and the actual number used. In this case, the attrition is 25 room nights, indicating that 25 fewer room nights were used than initially agreed upon. Therefore, the correct answer is "cut-off date, attrition, 25."Rate this question:
