Floor 12 = 15 Rooms
Floor 13 = 9 Rooms
Floor 14 = 15 Rooms
Floor 15 = 15 Rooms

Total Cost of Rooms = $16,375 Total Rooms Used = 70

All the floors at 11 and above are $250 except floor 13 which is 125. The total payment for floors other than 13 is

[n(11)+n(12)+n(14)+n(15)]*250

the payment for floor 13 is

n(13)*125; Where n(x) is the number of rooms filled on floor x.

Call the sum n(11)+n(12)+n(14)+n(15) = n, then the total payment for all the rooms is

T = n*250 + n(13)*125.

The total no of filled rooms is

N = n + n(13)

You now have two eqs in two unknowns: n(13) and n. Those are the quantities you are asked to find.
