Question

In Zachary's classroom there are red chairs, yellow chairs, and blue chairs. There are 6 red chairs. There are 4 times as many yellow chairs as red chairs, and there are 2 fewer blue chairs than yellow chairs. How many chairs are there in Zachary's classroom?

Answer 1

52 Chairs

Explanation:

Red Chairs = 6

Yellow Chairs = 4 x red chairs

Blue Chairs = yellow chairs - 2

Yellow Chairs = 4 x 6 = 24 chairs

Blue Chairs = 24 - 2 = 22 chairs

Total # of chairs = 6 + 24 + 22 = 52 chairs
