Question

An online furniture store sells chairs for $150 each and tables for $400 each. The store must sell a minimum of $4900 worth of chairs and tables each day. Write an inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of tables sold, tt, and the number of chairs sold, cc, that would satisfy the constraint.

Answer 1

Answer: 150c + 400t ≥ 4900

Explanation:

Let the number of chairs sold = c

Let the number of tables sold = t

Price for each chair = $150

Price for each table = $400

The inequality that could represent the number of tables and chairs sold will be:

(150 × c) + (400 × t) ≥ 4900

150c + 400t ≥ 4900
