Answer:

Total number of chairs in the restaurant = 160.

Explanation:

Total number of tables in the restaurant = 50

It is given that 40% of the tables have 2 chairs at each table.

40% of 50 =
(40)/(100) (50)

= 20

So, 20 tables have 2 chairs at each table.

Number of chairs required for 20 tables = 20 × 2 = 40

Remaining 60% of the tables have 4 chairs at each table.

60% of 50 =
(60)/(100) (50)

= 30

So, 30 tables have 4 chairs at each table.

Number of chairs required for 30 tables = 30 × 4 = 120

Hence, total number of chairs in the restaurant = 40 + 120 = 160.
