a local restaurant recently renovated its dining space , purchasing new tables and chairs to use in addition to the original tables and chairs . the new tables each seat 6 customers , while the original tables each seat 4 customers . altogether , the restaurant now has 40 tables and is capable of seating 212 customers ...
if all the tables seated 4 , the number of customers could be 4 * 40 = 160 . 212 - 160 = 52 , so 52 / 2 = 26 tables must be tables seating 6 people . the number of tables seating 4 people is 40 - 26 = 14 . the number of new tables is 26 - 14 = 12 more than the number of old tables . the answer is b .
