Chairs need to be set up for the audience members. You want to use the

fewest number of chairs and still meet these three additional conditions.

• There are 21 rows of chairs.

There are the same number of chairs in each row.

• There are an even number of chairs in each row.

Based on the 352 (88%) expected to attend, design a plan to set

up the chairs. State how many total chairs there are, and explain why your

plan meets these conditions.

Step-by-step explanation: If there were 18 seats in the row, it would be an even amount in each row, the same amount in each row, and would see everybody.

What is a word problem?

"Word problems are typically defined as verbal descriptions of problem situations wherein one or more questions have raised the answer to which can be obtained by the application of mathematical operations to numerical data available in the problem statement".

For the given situation,

Total number of students = 352

The number of students expected to come = 88%

[tex]88\%of352 = 309.76[/tex] ≈ [tex]310[/tex]

The number of students attending the event = 310.

Total number of rows of chairs = 21

The number of chairs in each row,

[tex]\frac{310}{21}=14.76[/tex] ≈ [tex]14[/tex]

Based on the conditions that are the same number of chairs in each row and an even number of chairs in each row, we cannot take the number of chairs to be 15. So it is 14.

Hence we can conclude that the number of chairs in each row is 14 for the students to get accommodated in the event.
