Answer 1

To determine if the restaurant manager can purchase 12 tables for no more than $3,000, we first calculate the total cost of 12 tables at $254 each.

Total cost = Number of tables × Cost per table
Total cost = 12 × $254 = $3,048

Since $3,048 is greater than $3,000, the manager cannot purchase 12 tables for a total cost within the budget.

Therefore, the correct response is:

No, the value would round down to 11 tables.
