Question

You work as a residential painter. A customer wants two tables and eight chairs painted using one coat of the same color paint. Each table requires 15858 quarts of paint, and each chair requires 2323 quarts of paint. How many total quarts of paint should you bring to paint this furniture?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let t be the number of tables

Let c be the number of chairs

Total paint needed = 15858t + 2323c

Given t = 2 and c = 8, substitute t and c into expression to find total paint needed

Total Paint needed = 15858(2) + 2323(8)

= 31716 + 18584

= 50300 quarts of paint
