Workers install 840 chairs at a constant rate. After 8 days, the workers still have to install 360 chairs. How much time does it take to install the chairs from start to finish?

It took them 4 days to install 480 chairs which means if they were working at a constant rate they got 120 chairs installed daily. with 360 chairs left that means in 3 days they will finish. so overall, it took the workers 7 days to finish, or a week.
