If a store adds 30 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?	Answers: A) 40 B) 90 C) 100 D) 140 E) 160
Explanation:   Letâ€™s say t = total current inventory of chairs. The first sentence states that 30 + t = (3/2)t. First solve for the current inventory:   30 + t = (3/2)t   30 = (3/2)t âˆ’ t   60 = (1/2)t   60 = t   The manager wants to increase this by 50%.   50% of 60 is 30, so the new inventory will be 90   Answer: 90
