(b) 119

You are Right

Excess = 14 students
Shortage = 4 vacant students
= 4 $\times$ 7 students
= 28 students
Difference = 7- 5 = 2
Number of units $(rooms)$ = $\frac{(14 + 28)}{2}$
= $\frac{42}{2}$ = 21
(a) There are 21 hostel rooms.
21 – 4 = 17
17 $\times$ 7 = 119
(b) There are 119 students staying at the youth hostel.

Sorry. Please check the correct answer below.

8 + 3 = 11
19 – 18 = 1
11 ÷ 1 = 11
There were 11 stacks of coins.
11 $\times$ 19 = 209
209 – 8 = 201 coins
201 $\times$ 104 = 2010 = \$20.10

View Correct Answer

\$20.10

You are Right

8 + 3 = 11
19 – 18 = 1
11 ÷ 1 = 11
There were 11 stacks of coins.
11 $\times$ 19 = 209
209 – 8 = 201 coins
201 $\times$ 104 = 2010 = \$20.10
