Question

An online furniture store sells chairs for $200 each and tables for $600 each. Every

day, the store can ship a maximum of 32 pieces of furniture and must sell no less than
$12000 worth of chairs and tables. If 13 chairs were sold, determine the minimum
number of tables that the the store must sell in order to meet the requirements. If
there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Answer 1

The furniture store must sell a minimum of 16 tables to meet the requirements.

Step-by-step explanation:

To meet the requirements, the furniture store needs to sell no less than $12,000 worth of chairs and tables.

Since each chair is sold for $200, the total revenue from selling 13 chairs is $200 x 13 = $2600.

To meet the minimum requirement of $12,000, the store needs to sell $12,000 - $2600 = $9,400 worth of tables.

Since each table is sold for $600, the minimum number of tables the store must sell is $9,400 / $600 = 15.67, which should be rounded up to 16 tables.
