What we know: - number of meeting rooms = m - chairs in each meeting room = 325
Since we need an equation to represent the number of chairs in m meeting rooms, we would multiply the amount of chairs per meeting room (325) by m. This amount is c. So the equation becomes:
c = 325m
Now the question asks for the amount of chairs if there are 7 meeting rooms in the hotel. To find this, substitute 7 for m into c = 325m.
c = 325m c = 325(7) c = 2275
Answer: The equation is c = 325m, and the amount of chairs if m equals 7 is 2,275.
