Answer: 378 square feet

=========================================================

Explanation:

The goal is to find the area of the overall trapezoid (trapezoid MNRS)

To do this, we need three things:
A) The bottom horizontal length NR
B) The top horizontal length MS
C) The height of the trapezoid; the vertical distance from the bottom horizontal piece to the vertical horizontal piece

We don't know (A) but we know (B). The length of MS is 18 ft
We don't know (C), but we can find it fairly easily

Area of triangle TPQ = 84
84 = (base)*(height)/2
84 = 12*h/2
84*2 = 12*h
168 = 12*h
12h = 168
h = 168/12
h = 14

The height of triangle TPQ is 14 feet
The height of trapezoid MNRS is 14 feet

The hardest part will be figuring out the length of NR

We're told that NP, PQ and QR are in a ratio of 2:1.5:1
this means 
NP = 2*k
PQ = 1.5*k
QR = 1*k
where k is some positive number

From the diagram we see that PQ is 12 ft, so
PQ = 1.5k
1.5k = 12
k = 12/1.5
k = 8
leading to...
NP = 2*k = 2*8 = 16
PQ = 1.5*k = 1.5*8 = 12
QR = 1*k = 1*8 = 8

So,
NR = NP+PQ+QR
NR = 16+12+8
NR = 36

We finally have enough to find the area of the trapezoid
area of trapezoid = (height)*(base1+base2)/2
area of trapezoid = (14)*(18+36)/2
area of trapezoid = (14)*(54)/2
area of trapezoid = 756/2
area of trapezoid = 378 square feet

Solve for n. 15 = 0.5n
murzikaleks [220]

15 = 0.5n


15/0.5 = n


15/0.5 = 30


n = 30.

If you assign variables to the problem, it can make things a lot simpler. Lets say chairs are x and tables are y. Therefore you have:
2x+6y=40 
5x+3y=25
Now you can isolate the variable of one equation and put it into another (it doesn't matter which. I'm going to manipulate the top equation to plug into the bottom one).
2x=40-6y 
x=20-3y
Now I plug into bottom equatioin:
5(20-3y) + 3y=25
100-15y+3y=25
100-12y=25
-12y=-75
y=$6.25
Now you can plug in y in either equation to get x. 
2x+6(6.25)=40
37.5+2x=40
2x=2.5
x=1.25
So it costs $6.25 for each table and $1.25 for each chair. If you think about it, it would make sense for the table to cost more for the chair.
