An online furniture store sells chairs for $100 each and tables for $450 each. Every day, the store can ship a maximum of 24 pieces of furniture and must sell no less than $4500 worth of chairs and tables. If 5 tables were sold, determine all possible values for the number of chairs that the store must sell in order to meet the requirements. Your answer should be a comma separated list of values. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Answer:

23 chairs must sell in order to meet the requirements.

Explanation:


per \: chair = 100 \\ per \: table \: = 450 \\ \: \: \: \: daily \: shipment = 24 \: pieces \\ if \: five \: tables \: were \: sold \: \\ 450 * 5 = 2,250 \\ substract \: the \: value \: of \: five \: chairs \\ from \: the \: worth \: of \: both \: the \: chairs \\ and \: table \\ 4500 - 2,250 = 2,250


2250 / 100 = 22.5 \\ approximately \: 23 \: chairs \\ will \: be \: sold \: with \: 5 \: chairs \: \\ to \: meet \: up \: to \: that \: 4500
