Question

• Yogi is planning a concert for his animal friends. He arranges his chairs and if he makes 8 rows he was

3 chairs short. If he has 6 rows he has 17 chairs left over. How many chairs does Yogi have?

Answer 1

Answer: Yogi has 59 chairs.

Step-by-step explanation: For the question, it's a lot of guess an check. 10 is a good place to start. Times 10 by 8 and add 3. Then times 6 by 10 and add 17. Does it equal the same number? No. Is it close? Yes. So maybe try going up a few numbers or down a few. You'll eventually get 7 which when you multiple 7 by 8 and add 3 and multiple 6 by 10 and add 17, you'll get 59.
