Answer:
12 chairs
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting number of chairs = 98
After 3 trips, no. of chairs = 92
Number of chairs carried = 6
Chairs carried per trip = 6 chairs/3 trips = 2 chairs/trip
After 17 trips, no. of chairs = 64
In 11 trips,
[tex]\text{No. of chairs carried} = \text{11 trips} \times \dfrac{\text{2 chairs}}{\text{1 trip}} = \text{22 chairs}[/tex]
Total chairs carried = 64 + 22 = 86 chairs
Chairs remaining in truck = 98 - 86 = 12 chairs
I was able to determine my answer, because I knew that Damien carried two chairs in each trip.
