Jackson is buying chairs for his restaurant. He has 6 tables with 4 seats and 12 tables with 6 seats. How many chairs total does Jackson need to buy? Give me reasons, before answering the question
First find how many chairs Jackson needs for the four - seat tables by multiplying the number of four - seat tables by 4: 4 chairs / table * 6 tables = 24 chairs. Next find how many chairs Jackson needs for the six - seat tables by multiplying the number of six - seat tables by 6: 6 chairs / table * 12 tables = 72 chairs. Now add the number of chairs for the four - and six - seat tables to find the total number of chairs Jackson needs: 24 chairs + 72 chairs = 96 chairs. So the final answer is 96.
