Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Tayler has \$320 to spend on dining room chairs.
2. Each chair costs about \$80.
3. Tayler's friend is giving her 3 chairs for free.
4. We need to find the total number of chairs Tayler can get, represented by \( c \).

STEP 2

1. Determine how many chairs Tayler can buy with her \$320.
2. Account for the free chairs from her friend.
3. Write the equation to find the total number of chairs.

STEP 3

Determine how many chairs Tayler can buy with her \$320.
Divide the total amount of money Tayler has by the cost per chair:
$\text{Number of chairs Tayler can buy} = \frac{320}{80}$
$= 4$

STEP 4

Account for the free chairs from her friend.
Add the 3 free chairs to the number of chairs Tayler can buy:
$\text{Total number of chairs} = 4 + 3$

STEP 5

Write the equation to find the total number of chairs Tayler can get, using $c$ to represent the total chairs:
$c = 4 + 3$
$c = 7$
The total number of chairs Tayler can get is:
$\boxed{7}$
