A school receives two order of new chairs the first order contained 100 eighty chairs the second order contained 204 chairs each of the 17 classrooms received the same number of chairs how many chairs will be put in storage as extra chairs

Answer 1

To determine how many chairs will be put in storage as extra chairs, we need to follow these steps:

1. Calculate the total number of chairs received:

   • First order: 280 chairs
   • Second order: 204 chairs
   • Total chairs = 280 + 204 = 484 chairs

2. Distribute the chairs evenly among the classrooms:

   • Total classrooms = 17
   • To find out how many chairs each classroom receives, we divide the total number of chairs by the number of classrooms: \[ \text{Chairs per classroom} = \frac{484}{17} = 28.47 \] Since you can't have a fraction of a chair, we will round down to the nearest whole number, as each classroom must receive the same whole number of chairs.

   Each classroom will receive 28 chairs.

3. Calculate the total number of chairs distributed:

   • Total chairs distributed = 28 chairs/classroom × 17 classrooms = 476 chairs

4. Calculate the number of extra chairs:

   • Extra chairs = Total chairs - Total chairs distributed \[ \text{Extra chairs} = 484 - 476 = 8 chairs \]

Therefore, the number of chairs that will be put in storage as extra chairs is 8 chairs.
