On july 1 community hospital expanded the number of patient


On July 1, Community Hospital expanded the number of patient beds from 156 to 200. Use the following information to determine the occupancy rate for the total year (non-leap year). Calculate the answer to one decimal and put a % sign after the number with no space (i.e. 33.3%).

Months            Service Days     Bed Count     

January - June 15672 156

July - December 25876 200

So what I did initailly was added both the service days together and the bed counts together. But then I also multiplied what i got for the bed counts by 365 because there are 365 days in a year. I Tool the sum of the Services days and divided that by the total bed counts and then multiplied that answer by 100. But I got the question wrong. Where was my mistake. What Im confused about is the correct total bed count that I should be using.
