A classroom design uses 10 cfm per occupant plus an unchanged area component. Occupancy increases from 20 to 28. What is the increase in the people component?

A8 cfm
80 cfm
C200 cfm
D280 cfm

Where to look it up

Explicit exercise assumptions; not a universal code requirement.

Why B is correct

Only the eight additional occupants change this component: (28 − 20) × 10 = 80 cfm. The supplied rate is a design assumption, not an independently verified code rate.
