Review Questions
1. A hotel has 35 rooms for rent, as follows:
! twenty “standard” rooms (rooms #1 through #20)
! ten “deluxe” rooms (rooms #21 through #30)
! five “luxury” rooms (rooms #31 through #35).
You phone the hotel and ask to reserve a “standard” room for next Friday night. You
have stayed in that hotel previously and really liked room #14, so ask if you could
reserve room #14. The hotel clerk says that he “will try to get you room #14", but cannot
guarantee it because their reservation system does not recognize individual rooms.
With regard to rooms, how many SKUs does this hotel have?
