<p>Hey guys, I stumped on this problem. Can you guys look at it for me? Thanks!</p>
<p>A restaurant has 36 tables that can seat up to 4 people each. If two of these tables are put together, the two tables can seat up to 6 people. What is the maximum number of people that can be seated if there are the same number of 4 person and 6 person table configurations. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Is the answer 120 people?</p>
<p>I solved this way:</p>
<p>Let x=the number of 4 person tables and the number of 6 person tables (because they are the same)</p>
<p>1x+2x=36 Because there is 1 table for each 4 person and 2 tables for each 6 person
x=12 so 12 4 person table and 12 6 person tables
12<em>4+12</em>6=120 people because you multiply the number of tables by the number of people sitting at them</p>
<p>I got 120 as well.</p>
