Question

An online furniture store sells chairs for $100 each and tables for $450 each. Every day, the store can ship a maximum of 24 pieces of furniture and must sell no less than $4500 worth of chairs and tables. If 5 tables were sold, determine all possible values for the number of chairs that the store must sell in order to meet the requirements.

Answer 1

Answer:

23 or more chairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 tables to start. Each tables is 450 dollars.

5x450=2250

4500-2250=2250

2250(money still need to be made) divided by 100(the price of a chair)=22.5

Since you can't have a half of a chair but you cant have any less, you round it up to 23 chairs. The answer is 23 or more chairs.

Answer 2

Answer:

Actually, there is no answer to this problem.

450x5=2250

4500-2250=2250

2250/100=22.5

Technically the "answer" to this would be 23 or more, but the problem is saying the MAXIMUM amount they can ship is 24

23+5=28

28 is larger than 24, meaning there is no answer to the problem.
