A hospital has 4 different sized rooms containing a different number of beds as follows:

  • Single rooms: 125 rooms, 1 bed
  • Double rooms: 75 rooms, 2 beds
  • Large rooms: 115 rooms, 5 beds
  • X-Large rooms: 15 rooms, 25 beds

 1,225


Step 1: Calculate the number of beds for each room size by multiplying the number of beds by the number of rooms.

Single rooms: 125 • 1 = 125

Double rooms: 75 • 2 = 150

Large rooms: 115 • 5 = 575

X-Large rooms: 15 • 25 = 375

Step 2: Calculate the total number of beds in the hospital by adding the products from step 1.

125 + 150 + 575 + 375 = 1,225

Answer: 1,225
