Practice Exam Question - Which room HOA should renovate to upgrade for after-school classroom
I was able to do the calculations and deduce the total square footage for the reno had to be max 300 SF. However I wasn't able to confirm that the Dining Room (correct answer) would accomodate the desks. Their response says the Dining Room has 55' of wall length to accommodate the stations but according to the diagram, you need about 6' for each station. The length of the dining room according to the square footage is 19.3' so i went with 19'. How does one quickly make this determination? Thanks for your help

My approach on the actual exam would be the following:
Total budget = 26,000
Workstations budget: 10x 2,000 = 20,000
Remaining budget: 26,000 - 20,000 = 6,000
Renovation budget is 20.00 per sf. max, so the maximum square footage is 6,000 / 20 = 300 sf
Now, let’s look at the diagram and find out what fits within this budget: lobby is 309 (exceeds allowable sq footage), business center is 302 (still over budget), gym is 362. Ballroom is under 300 but is too small so our only remaining choice is the dining room. Check that the dining room meets all other requirements (exterior window). Yes, it does. Click dining room and move on.p.s. I would not spend any time on the actual exam trying to arrange the workstations because dining room is our only choice.
