System of Equations
Let:
x = number of people that can be seated at a table
y = number of people that can be seated at a booth
The first plan consists of 23 tables and 10 booths and then 228 people could be seated, thus:
23x + 10y = 228
The second plan consists of 12 tables and 12 booths and that way 180 people could be seated, thus:
12x + 12y = 180
The method of elimination requires equating the coefficients of one variable and eliminating it by adding the equations.
Multiply the first equation by 12:
276x + 120y = 2736
Multiply the second equation by -23:
-276x - 276y = -4140
Add the last two equations (the variable x cancels out):
120y - 276y = 2736 - 4140
Simplifying:
-156y = -1404
Dividing by -156:
y = -1404/(-156)
y = 9
Substitute this value in the first equation:
23x + 10(9) = 228
Operate:
23x + 90 = 228
Subtract 90:
23x = 138
Divide by 23:
x = 138/23
x = 6
Every table can seat 6 people, and every booth can seat 9 people
She is saving $24!
explanation: multiply .2 (20%) by 120.
Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.
Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by
P = x + 2y
The area of the rectangle is given by xy,
i.e.

Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have

For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then

Now, recall that

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by
P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.
Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.
