Which of the following can be used to find t, the greatest number of small tables that can be filled when the large table is also filled?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$15 + 5t = 140$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Total = 140$

$Large = 1$

$Small = t$ --- unknown

Required

Equation that can be used to find t

1 large table can take 15 people and there is only one large table.

So, we have:

$L \to 15$

1 small table can take 5 people and there are t small tables.

So, we have:

$S \to 5t$

The room can accommodate 140 people.

So, we have:

$L + S = 140$

This gives:

$15 + 5t = 140$

The above expression can be used to determine the number of small tables
