The fraction of the furniture sold that are tables is given by 1/2y / (1/3x + 1/3y)

<h3>Equation</h3>

Let

  • number of chairs = x
  • Number of tables = y

Number of tables and chairs sold = 1/2(x + y)

= 1/2x + 1/2y

  • Fraction of chairs sold = 1/2x
  • Fraction of tables sold = 1/2y

Furniture remaining = 1/3(x + y)

Fraction of tables sold = 1/2y ÷ 1/3(x + y)

= 1/2y ÷ 1/3x + 1/3y

= 1/2y × 1 / (1/3x + 1/3y)

= 1/2y / (1/3x + 1/3y)

Therefore, the fraction of the furniture sold that are tables is given by 1/2y / (1/3x + 1/3y)
