Answer 1

An online furniture store sells chairs for $200 each and tables for $600 each.

Let the chairs be x and the tables be y

200 x + 600 y < 13000 --------------- equ 1

x + y = 39 ................................................equ 2

If x = 20 ,

200 ( 20 ) + 600 y < 13000

4000 + 600 y < 13 000

600 y < 13000 - 4000

600 y < 9000

Divide both sides by 600

y < 15

The minimum number of tables that the store must sell in order to meet the requirements = 15 tables.
