Question

An online furniture store sells chairs for $200 each and tables for $600 each. Every day, the store can ship a maximum of 32 pieces of furniture and must sell no less than $12000 worth of chairs and tables. If 13 chairs were sold, determine the minimum number of tables that the the store must sell in order to meet the requirements. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the minimum 13 chair were sold , then the minimum number of Table sold is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of each chair = $ 200

The cost of each table = $ 600

The total number of furniture sold per day = 32

The minimum amount of selling per day = $ 12000

Let the total number of chair = C

The total number of table = T

So , according to question

C + T = 32         .......1

200 C + 600 T = 12000         .......2

Solving eq 1 and 2

200 C + 600 T = 12000

200 × ( C + T ) = 32 × 200

I.e 200 C + 200 T = 6400

or, ( 200 C + 600 T ) - ( 200 C + 200 T ) = 12,000 - 6400

Or, 400 T =  5600

∴  T = $\frac{5600}{400}$

I.e T = 14

Put The value of T in eq 2

So, 200 C + 600 × 14 = 12000

or , 200 C + 8400 = 12,000

Or, 200 C = 12000 - 8400

Or, 200 C = 3600

∴   C = $\frac{3600}{200}$

I.e C = 18

The number of chair sold is 18

If the number of chair sold is 13 ,

Then the min number of table sold = 200 × 18 + 600 T = 12000

i.e 600 T = 12000 - 3600

or, 600 T = 8400

∴   T = $\frac{8400}{600}$

I.e T = 14

Hence if the minimum 13 chair were sold , then the minimum number of Table sold is 14 . Answer
