An online furniture store sells chairs and tabies. Each day, the store can ship a maximum of 36 pieces of furniture. Write an inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of tables sold, t, and the number of chairs sold, c, that would satisfy the constraint.

The inequality that represents the maximum of 36 pieces of furniture that an online store can ship in a day, composed of chairs and tables, is expressed as c + t ≤ 36, with 'c' being the number of chairs and 't' the number of tables.

To represent the constraint that an online furniture store can ship a maximum of 36 pieces of furniture a day, comprising tables and chairs, you can write the following inequality:

c + t ≤ 36

Where c represents the number of chairs sold and t represents the number of tables sold.

This inequality indicates that the sum of chairs and tables cannot exceed 36 units, which is the store's daily shipping capacity.

To satisfy this condition, the store must ensure that the combined total of chairs and tables shipped does not surpass this maximum number.
