The concept being tested is how to determine the total occupant load for a floor that has multiple occupancies by using each space’s occupant load factor and then summing the results.

Calculate for each space: divide its floor area by its occupant load factor.

Restaurant: 6000 sq ft divided by 15 sq ft per person equals 400 people.
Bookstore: 1800 sq ft divided by 30 sq ft per person equals 60 people.

Add them together: 400 + 60 = 460 people total for the floor. Since there are no fractional results, no rounding is needed. The total occupant load is 460 people.
