Laurel is planning a family reunion.She has tables that seat 6 people each.All the tables and chairs have 4 legs each.Altogether there are 364 furniture legs. If there is one place set for each person who will attend the family reunion, how many guests is laurel expecting?

Answer 1

78 guests

Explanation:

For every set of a table and 6 chairs, there are 7 furnitures. Since each furniture has 4 legs, one set a total of 7*4=28 legs

Considering thag there are a total of 364 legs then the total sets of a table and 6 chairs will be 364/28=13 sets

For 13 sets, each set has 6 chairs and each chair will have one guest. Therefore, the total expected number of guests is 13*6*1=78 guests
