Question 315178: I was in ROTC in high school and we always had an award banquet at the end of the year. We had 94 people in the class. We had 7 people who sat at the main table. We sat 6 people per table. How many tables were needed. 6x+7=94 Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I was in ROTC in high school and we always had an award banquet at the end of the year. We had 94 people in the class. We had 7 people who sat at the main table. We sat 6 people per table. How many tables were needed.
.
6x + 7 = 94
6x = 87
x = 87/6
x = 14.5
Since you can't have "half a table" you must round up:
x = 15
But wait, you have to account for the "main table":
Number of tables = 15+1 = 16
