There are 6 places set at each table for the big outdoor party. All the tables and the chairs have 4 legs each, and altogether the tables and the chairs have a total of 196 legs.
If there is one place set for each person who will attend, how many people are expected to come to the big party?
Answer
42 people are expected to come to the big party.
Each table has 6 chairs, so there are a total of 74=28 legs at each table. So, 196/28=7 tables. Therefore, 76=42 guests who are expected to come to the party.
