Question

Ken needs to buy a new dining room chair. Two stores sell the same chair. Discount Tables sell six chairs for $321. Chloe's sells four chairs for $223. What is the lowest price per chair?

Answer 1

The lowest price per chair is `$53.50` per chair from Discount Tables.

Explanation:

As Discount Tables sell six chairs for $321, the rate per chair is `$` `321/6=(107cancel321)/(2cancel6)=107/2=53.50` or `$53.50` per chair.

Chloe's sells four chairs for $223, the rate per chair is `$` `223/4=55.75` or `$55.75` per chair.

Hence, the lowest price per chair is `$53.50` per chair from Discount Tables.
