The National Railroad Passenger Corporation which does it's business with the name Amtrak is a railway corporation formed in 1971 and is partly owned by the government. It provides railway services of transporting people and goods connecting many states. It therefor serves as a government corporation.
To answer this item, we let x be the current number of chairs. After adding 50 chairs to the current inventory, the total number of chairs would then be equal to x + 50. The equation that would allow us to determine the value of x is written below.
x + 50 = (3/2)(x)
Simplifying the equation,
x + 50 = 3x/2
x - 3x/2 = -50
-x/2 = -50
Dividing both sides of the equation by -1/2, the value of x is equal to 100.
To increase the inventory by 40%, the equation would be,
y = x(1.4) = 1.4(100) = 140
<em>ANSWER: 140 chairs</em>
