Question

The staff at Aretha's Furniture built 60 chairs and stools in one day. It takes one person 3 hours to produce a chair and 2hours to build a stool. How many of each were made if the staff of 12 people worked 8 hours each? x+y= 60; 3x + 2y = 96 x + y = 96; 2x + 3y = 60 You can use a system of equations to find the answer. Let x = the number of chairs, and y = the number of stools. x + y = 60; 2x + 3y = 12 x+y= 60; 3x + 2y = 12 +​

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of chairs = 24

Number of stools = 12

As about the question number 2, I think you should check whether the question you copied is correct are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. One person,

Three hours for a chair and two hours for a stool

Therefore, 12 people working for 8 hours;

Per person produced two chairs and one stool as 3+3+2=8 hours

12×2= 24 chairs and 12×1=12 stools.
