STEP 1
What is this asking? We need to figure out the price difference per chair between metal and wooden chairs. Watch out! Don't forget to compare the price *per chair*, not the total price of the sets!
STEP 2
1. Calculate the cost per wooden chair.
2. Calculate the cost per metal chair.
3. Find the difference in cost per chair.
STEP 3
Alright, let's **dive in**!
We know that a set of **6** wooden chairs costs .
To find the cost of a **single** wooden chair, we need to divide the **total cost** by the **number of chairs**.
STEP 4
So, we'll **divide** by **6**:
STEP 5
Great! Each wooden chair costs .
Let's keep that number in mind.
STEP 6
Now, let's look at the metal chairs.
A set of **8** metal chairs costs .
We'll use the same logic as before to find the cost per chair.
STEP 7
We'll **divide** the **total cost** of by the **number of chairs**, which is **8**:
STEP 8
Awesome! Each metal chair costs .
STEP 9
We're almost there!
We know that each wooden chair costs and each metal chair costs .
To find how much *more* the metal chairs cost, we'll **subtract** the cost of a wooden chair from the cost of a metal chair.
STEP 10
Let's do the **subtraction**:
STEP 11
The metal chairs cost more per chair than the wooden chairs.
