Answer:
144
Step-by-step explanation:
First, do the top and bottom. The top is 2*4*3 or 24, and the bottom is 6*4 or 24.
Now, do the sides. It is a staircase that you can split into 6 2x2 blocks, or 6*4=24. Do the same with the other side to get 24 again.
Now for the front and back. This is 2*4*3 and 6*4 again, or 24 and 24.
Now you have 6 24's so just multiply these and get 144.
I just took the 16 chairs and added 2 since thats how many are left over, then since adding these 16 chairs, you are creating 2 more rows, so (16+2)/2 =9 Therefore, each row must have nine chairs in it and Hue starts off with 5x9+2= 47 chairs
