Question

The cafeteria has 6 round tables and 23 rectangular tables. If each round table has 7 chairs and each rectangular table has 18 chairs, how many chairs are there in the cafeteria?

Answer 1

Answer: 456 chairs

Explanation:

If there are 6 round tables with 7 chairs each you would multiply 7, 6 times (7 x 6) = 42

If there are 23 rectangular tables with 18 chairs each you would multiply 18, 23 times. ( 18 x 23) = 414

Then you add up all the chairs, 456 chairs total.
