At Palm Meadows, there are 13 hotel rooms. Eight of the rooms have two beds in them and the rest have three beds. How many beds are there in total? Let's answer step by step:
There are 13 - 8 = 5 rooms with three beds. There are 5 * 3 = 15 beds for those hotel rooms that have three beds in them. There are 8 * 2 = 16 beds for those hotel rooms that have two beds in them. There are 15 + 16 = 31 beds in total. The answer: 31.
