For an arithmetic exercise, an office project specifies an airflow allowance of 100 cfm for each of 500 occupants. What total airflow does that stated allowance produce?

50,000 CFM
B100,000 CFM
C150,000 CFM
D200,000 CFM

Where to look it up

Explicit exercise assumptions; not a universal code requirement.

Why A is correct

100 cfm per occupant × 500 occupants = 50,000 cfm. This computes the stated project allowance; it does not establish a code ventilation minimum, which may use other inputs.
