Question

A hotel is arranging tables for 110 people, who have been invited to a party. If each table can seat 13 people, how many tables are needed to seat all the people?

• A. 8
• B. 10
• C. 9
• D. 7

Answer 1

The correct option is C 9

One table can seat = 13 people
Therefore, number of tables required to seat 110 people are,
$=\frac{110}{13}$

There is a remainder of 6 people who do not have a table. To accommodate them, we would need to get another table.
It would be 8 + 1 tables.
Therefore, we require 9 tables.
