c = m* 325, so if m = 7, then,

C = 2275

What we know:
- number of meeting rooms = m
- chairs in each meeting room = 325

Since we need an equation to represent the number of chairs in m meeting rooms, we would multiply the amount of chairs per meeting room (325) by m. This amount is c. So the equation becomes:

c = 325m

Now the question asks for the amount of chairs if there are 7 meeting rooms in the hotel. To find this, substitute 7 for m into c = 325m.

c = 325m
c = 325(7)
c = 2275

Answer:
The equation is c = 325m, and the amount of chairs if m equals 7 is 2,275.
