A school received two orders of new chairs the first order contain 180 chairs the second order contained 204 chairs each of the 17 classroom received the same number of chairs how many chairs would be put in the storage as extra chairs A 10 B 17 C 22 D 44

Answer 1

To find out how many chairs will be stored as extra, we first need to determine the total number of chairs and how many chairs each classroom will receive.

1. Calculate the total number of chairs:

   • First order: 180 chairs
   • Second order: 204 chairs

   Total chairs = 180 + 204 = 384 chairs

2. Determine how many chairs each classroom receives:

   • There are 17 classrooms.

   The number of chairs each classroom would receive is calculated by dividing the total number of chairs by the number of classrooms: \[ \text{Chairs per classroom} = \frac{384}{17} \approx 22.588 \] Since the number of chairs per classroom must be a whole number, we consider only the whole number of chairs each classroom can receive. Each classroom can receive 22 chairs.

3. Calculate the total number of chairs distributed to classrooms: \[ \text{Total chairs distributed} = 22 \times 17 = 374 chairs \]

4. Calculate the number of extra chairs: \[ \text{Extra chairs} = \text{Total chairs} - \text{Total chairs distributed} = 384 - 374 = 10 chairs \]

Thus, the number of extra chairs after distributing them to the classrooms is 10 chairs, which corresponds to option A.
