Answer 1

Total rented= 56 chairs and tables

Chair= $2.25 (let's consider chairs as x)

Table = $8.50 (let's consider tables as y)

Total paid= $176.00

If she rented 56 chairs and tables, then the equation for that would be:

`\begin{gathered} 56=\text{ x + y } \\ 56\text{ -x= y} \end{gathered}`

Then the system of equations to model this situation is:

`176.00=\text{ 2.25x + 8.50\lparen56-x\rparen}`
