Question

A furniture company plans to have 27 employees at its corporate headquarters and 21 employees at each store it opens. If s represents the number of stores and m represents the total number of employees, find the value of m when s=4.

a) 108
b) 99
c) 135
d) 90

Answer 1

To find the value of m when s=4, use the equation m = 27 + 21s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of employees, we need to consider both the employees at the corporate headquarters and the employees at each store. The given information states that there are 27 employees at the corporate headquarters, and for each store opened, there are 21 employees. We can represent the number of stores as 's'.

Using the given information, we can calculate the total number of employees 'm' as:

m = 27 + 21s

Substituting 's' with the given value of 4, we can find the value of 'm'.
