Answer:
1500
Step-by-step explanation:
If shelter A is 70% occupied and there are 300 beds, the number of beds occupied is (0.7 x 300) = 210
Let x = occupancy rate in shelter b
from the question and based on the above calculations, the next equation can be derived
[tex]\frac{210}{b} = \frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Solve for b = (210 x 5) /2 = 525
The occupancy rate in B is 525 beds
We know that B is 35% occupied
Let's represent the total number of occupancy in b with y
0.35y = 525
y = 525/0.35 = 1500
