Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, total rooms girls booked be x and total rooms girls booked be y.

entire hotel was booked except two rooms.

so, total = 158-2 = 156

x+ y = 156

this is equation 1.

also, girls are using three times more room than boys.

so, y=3x

substituting y=3x in 1st equation,

x+ 3x = 156

or, 4x = 156

or, x= 156/4

x= 39
