From the information given, the total weight of table and 8 chairs is 235.68 lb.

The table only weighs 127.84 lb

Therefore the weight of the 8 chairs alone is 235.68 - 127.84 = 107.84 lb

The weight of one chair has not been given. Let us assume all the 8 chairs have approximately the same weight. How much is the weight then of one chair?

We divide the total weight of 8 chairs by the number of chairs, so:

107.84 / 8 = 13.48

The weight of one chair is approximately 13.48 Ib
