If a store adds 60 chairs to its current inventory, the total number of chairs will be the same as three-halves the current inventory of chairs. If the manager wants to increase the current inventory by 50%, what will the new inventory of chairs be?  Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 40
B) 60
C) 100
D) 180
E) 160
Explanation:   Letâ€™s say t = total current inventory of chairs. The first sentence states that 60 + t = (3/2)t. First solve for the current inventory:   60 + t = (3/2)t   60 = (3/2)t âˆ’ t   60 = (1/2)t   120 = t   The manager wants to increase this by 50%.   50% of 120 is 60, so the new inventory will be 180.   Answer: (180).
