tan 50 = opp/23

multiply both sides by 23

23 * tan50 = opp

Use calculator

27.4 = opp

There are 6060 tables in a restaurant, with 25%25% of them seating 22 people. The tables remaining seat 44 people. How many seat
mestny [16]
60 tables total. 25% of those seat 22 people. 60 X 25% = 15. So 15 of the tables seat 22 people. 
The remaining tables (60 tables - 15 tables = 45 tables) seat 44 people. 

So you have:
(15 tables X 22 seats) + (45 tables X 44 seats) = total seats. 
2310 TOTAL seats.
