An online furniture store sells chairs for $150 each and tables for $550 each. Every day, the store can ship no more than 32 pieces of furniture and must sell no less than $6800 worth of chairs and tables. If 30 chairs were sold, determine the minimum number of tables that the store must sell in order to meet the requirements.

Answer:

5 tables

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the amount of money that 30 chairs will make.
If each chair is $150, then we find the amount by doing the following:

\(30\times150=4500\)

Then, we do \(6800-4500=2300\) to find how much more money we need to make.

\(2300\div550=4.\overline1\overline8\)

We would have to round up to the nearest whole number, 5, to find the amount of tables we need.

Therefore, we would need at least 5 tables to meet the requirements.

Hope this helps!
