If a store adds 20 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 correct choice from the following answers:
A) 40
B) 60
C) 100
D) 140
E) 160
Explanation:   Letâ€™s say t = total current inventory of chairs. The first sentence states that 20 + t = (3/2)t. First solve for the current inventory:   20 + t = (3/2)t   20 = (3/2)t âˆ’ t   20 = (1/2)t   40 = t   The manager wants to increase this by 50%.   50% of 40 is 20, so the new inventory will be 60.   Answer: 60
