At the office building, Floor G and Floor H had an equal number of tables at first. If 6 tables were removed from Floor H and 5 times as many tables were removed from Floor G as Floor H, the number of tables in Floor H would be 5 times as many as in Floor G. Find the number of tables on each floor.
| |
Floor G |
Floor H |
| Before |
1 u + 30 |
5 u + 6 |
| Change |
- 30 |
- 6 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Number of tables removed from Floor G
= 5 x 6
= 30
Number of tables on Floor G and Floor H at first is the same.
5 u + 6 = 1 u + 30
5 u - 1 u = 30 - 6
4 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 4 = 6
Number of tables on each floor
= 1 u + 30
= 6 + 30
= 36
Answer(s): 36
