A census-taker asked a hotel owner, “You have reported that you own 5 hotels, and that all the hotels together have a total of 100 rooms. How many rooms are in each hotel?”
The owner replied,
“Hotels 1 and 2 together contain 52 rooms.
Hotels 2 and 3 together contain 43 rooms.
Hotels 3 and 4 together contain 34 rooms.
And hotels 4 and 5 together contain 30 rooms.”
“Thanks,” said the census-taker. “That gives me all the information I needed.” How many rooms are in each hotel?
