Luigi owns a few square tables and some chairs for his little restaurant. If he sets out individually with 4 chairs each, then he is 6 chairs short. If he always puts two tables together to create a bigger table with 6 chairs, then he has 4 chairs left over. How many tables does Luigi have? It would be best if you explained your work. Any 'troll answers' will be reported.

Suppose there are 10 tables. Putting 4 chairs at each table requires 4*10 = 40 chairs. Since this is 6 more chairs than he has, he must have 40 - 6 = 34 chairs.

Now suppose we put pairs of table together ("double tables"), so that 6 chairs can fit around each pair. With 10 tables, there will be 5 pairs, and with 6 chairs around each of these, we need 5*6 = 30 chairs. So 4 of the 34 chairs are left over. That's exactly what the problem said, so this is the answer.

Now, you may find that this check provides you with a model for the second equation you need to write! At least, I hope it clarifies what the problem means by "double tables".

Step-by-step explanation:

this is just my  interpritation, please tell me if wrong!!!

you should at least use a calculater

step-by-step explanation:

81 seats

step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply 0.65 times 125 then you get 81.5 seats. well since you can't have half of a seat you have to round down and get 81 seats in the no children zones. that leave 44 seats outside of the no children zone.
