An online furniture store sells chairs for $100 each and tables for $550 each. Every day, the store can ship at most 25 pieces of furniture and must sell no less than $7000 worth of chairs and tables. If 9 chairs were sold, determine all possible values for the number of tables that the store must sell in order to meet the requirements. Your answer should be a comma separated list of values. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

12,13,14,15,16

Step-by-step explanation:

\underline{\text{Define Variables:}}

Define Variables:

May choose any letters.

\text{Let }t=

Let t=

\,\,\text{the number of tables sold}

the number of tables sold

\text{Let }c=

Let c=

\,\,\text{the number of chairs sold}

the number of chairs sold

\text{\textquotedblleft at most 25 pieces"}\rightarrow \text{25 or fewer pieces}

“at most 25 pieces"→25 or fewer pieces

Use a \le≤ symbol

Therefore the total number of furniture pieces sold, t+ct+c, must be less than or equal to 25:25:

t+c\le 25

t+c≤25

\text{\textquotedblleft no less than \$7000"}\rightarrow \text{\$7000 or more}

“no less than $7000"→$7000 or more

Use a \ge≥ symbol

The store makes $550 for each table sold, so for tt tables, the store will make 550t550t dollars. The store makes $100 for each chair sold, so for cc chairs, the store will make 100c100c dollars. Therefore, the total revenue 550t+100c550t+100c must be greater than or equal to \$7000:$7000:

550t+100c\ge 7000

550t+100c≥7000

\text{Plug in }9\text{ for }c\text{ and solve each inequality:}

Plug in 9 for c and solve each inequality:

The store sold 9 chairs

\begin{aligned}t+c\le 25\hspace{10px}\text{and}\hspace{10px}&550t+100c\ge 7000 \\ t+\color{green}{9}\le 25\hspace{10px}\text{and}\hspace{10px}&550t+100\left(\color{green}{9}\right)\ge 7000 \\ t\le 16\hspace{10px}\text{and}\hspace{10px}&550t+900\ge 7000 \\ \hspace{10px}&550t\ge 6100 \\ \hspace{10px}&t\ge 11.09 \\ \end{aligned}

t+c≤25and

t+9≤25and

t≤16and

550t+100c≥7000

550t+100(9)≥7000

550t+900≥7000

550t≥6100

t≥11.09

\text{The values of }t\text{ that make BOTH inequalities true are:}

The values of t that make BOTH inequalities true are:

\{12,\ 13,\ 14,\ 15,\ 16\}

{12, 13, 14, 15, 16}

\text{(the final answer is this entire list)}

(the final answer is this entire list)

go on the tube you might find some information there

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7
