Question

Gina is the chairperson of a group. Last week, she set up 22 folding chairs for the group meeting. This week, some of the members could not attend the meeting, so she set up only 15 chairs. How many chairs did Gina set up in the past two weeks?

Answer 1

Gina set up a total of 37 chairs in the past two weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of chairs Gina set up in the past two weeks, we need to add the number of chairs she set up last week to the number of chairs she set up this week.

1. Last week, Gina set up 22 chairs for the group meeting.
2. This week, she set up 15 chairs for the meeting.
3. To find the total number of chairs she set up in the past two weeks, we add the number of chairs from last week and this week: 22 + 15 = 37.

Answer 2

37 Chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Last week she set up 22 chairs.

This week, that amount was 15

Add those together, and you have 37.
