There are 60 tables in a restaurant, with 25% of them seating 2 people. The tables remaining seat 4 people. How many seats are there in the restaurant?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Tables Equation: t + f = 60
\n" ); document.write( "t = 0.25(t+f)
\n" ); document.write( "t = 0.25t + 0.25f
\n" ); document.write( "0.75t = 0.25f
\n" ); document.write( "t = (1/3)f
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"t\" and solve for \"f\":
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)f + f = 60
\n" ); document.write( "(4/3)f = 60
\n" ); document.write( "f = 45 (# of tables that seat 4 people)
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"t\":
\n" ); document.write( "t + f = 60
\n" ); document.write( "t + 45 = 60
\n" ); document.write( "t = 15 (# of tables that seat 2 people)
