How many paper towels does the average commercial bathroom use?

Here's how to calculate it: Keep track of how many refills must be done in a week, month, etc., and multiply them accordingly to get an estimate. Example: 250 paper towels (one package) x 7 (each day for a week) = 1750 paper towels for one week. Then you could multiply x2 for 2 weeks, x4 for a month. To figure for several months, multiply your week answer; 1750 x 4 = 7000. 7000 is how many paper towels are used in a month. For 6 months; 7000 x 6 = 42000.
