You have shown vacant apartments to 16 potential renters this week and you have taken 4 applications for these vacancies from those you have toured the property. What is your leasing closing ratio in percentage?

Question

I came up with 4/16= 25%. Is this right? Thank you!

Answer 1

Right. :-)

Answer 2

You manage a 125-unit apartment community and have 6 vacancies currently. What is your current occupancy percentage?

I got 6/125= 48% ??

Thanks!

Answer 3

No. It's much smaller than that. 48 % is almost half. A 48% vacancy rate would mean that about 60 apartments would be vacant.

6/125 = 0.048
Move the decimal two places to the right. Or multiply by 100.

Answer 4

So, would it be: 16/4=4% ??

Or, moving the decimals two places would give me, o.4.8

but since there's an 8 next to the 4, does that number turn the 4 to a 5;therefore being 5% ??. Sorry, for the confusion. I want to learn the steps.

Thanks for your patience and your help.

Answer 5

4.8% is right.

You're welcome.

Answer 6

You manage a 125-unit apartment community and have 6 vacancies currently. What is

(your current occupancy percentage?)

Just to make sure, Ms. Sue,

I have an occupancy percentage of 4.8% ?. Thanks you!

Answer 7

Yes. The VACANCY rate is 4.8%.

100 - 4.8 = 95.2%. The OCCUPANCY rate is 95.2%.

You are welcome.

Answer 8

Ms. Sue,

This clarifies the numbers much more where I can understand them. Thank you for the clarification. Have a wonderful rest of the year.
