Question

Which equation will solve the following word problem? There are 36 tables and 7 booths in the family restaurant. Each table seats 4 people. If the restaurant can seat up to 184 people, what is the capacity of each booth?

(B * 7 ) - (36 * 4) = 184


7B + (36 * 4) = 184


184 - (36 * 4) = B/7


184/4 = B * 7
