Calcualting the number of seats required

To find the least number of tables needed to seat all 130 people, you can divide the total number of people by the number of people each table can seat (8).

Number of tables = Total number of people / Number of people per table

Number of tables = 130 / 8

Number of tables = 16 tables with 2 people left over

To seat all 130 people, you would need at least 17 tables.
