Using your answers in (a) and (b), which type of table will seat more
people in the allotted 800 square feet, round or rectangular?

Answer 1

rectangular tables

Explanation:

x: how many tables

a) 49x/49=800/49

x=16.3

so roughly 16 tables

b) 64x/64=800/64

x= 12.5

so roughly 12(you round to nearest even number when it is .5)

c) Now we will calcuate how many people will fit using the number of fitting capacity

=16 (8)

128

=12(12)

=144

Therefore, the rect tables will fit more people
