Well I can still answer that question without the following and it will be 44,000
We are given with two current costs : $3,450 for tables and $3,950 for chairs .The total cost then is equal to $7,400. This is said to be 4% more than he spent last year. so last year's expenses should be <span> $7,400 / 1.04 equal to $7115.39. The cost last year is expected to be less</span>
4x60=240
3x80=240
5x48=240
Answer 240
Hope that helps!
Y=.25x is the only resonable answer
