Question

Li Na is preparing for a party. She will have at least 100 guests attending. The venue has small tables that seat 4 people and large tables that seat 6 people.

Write an equation or inequality to represent how many small and large tables Li Na could use
to seat all her guests.

Answer 1

Answer: 100 = 4x + 6y

Explanation:

We have a total of 100 guests, small tables seat 4, and large tables seat 6. So for each small table used, 4 guests are subtracted from the total.

x = small tables

y = large tables
