Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 20% of 700, we first convert 20% to a decimal. 20% is equivalent to $0.2$ (since $20\%=\frac{20}{100} = 0.2$).

Step2: Multiply by total number of rooms

We multiply this decimal by the total number of hotel rooms (700) to find the number of occupied rooms. So, $700\times0.2 = 140$.

Answer:

140
