Question

carbon dioxide emissions associated with a one-night stay in a hotel room are calculated at 29.75 kg of co₂ per room day for an average hotel. the 250 rooms of your hotel are all occupied for four days during a college football game. how much co₂ did the guests and hotel release into the atmosphere? round your answer to the nearest whole number.
kgs

Explanation:

Step1: Find total room - days

The hotel has 250 rooms and they are occupied for 4 days. So the total number of room - days is the number of rooms multiplied by the number of days.
Total room - days = \(250\times4 = 1000\)

Step2: Calculate total CO₂ emissions

Each room - day emits 29.75 kg of CO₂. So the total CO₂ emissions is the total number of room - days multiplied by the emissions per room - day.
Total CO₂ emissions=\(1000\times29.75=29750\)

Answer:

29750
