Jackson is buying chairs for his restaurant. He has 6 tables with 4 seats and 12 tables with 6 seats. How many chairs total does Jackson need to buy?
First find how many chairs Jackson needs for the four-seat tables by multiplying the number of four-seat tables by 4: 4 chairs/table * 6 tables =

<output>24</output>
24 chairs.
Next find how many chairs Jackson needs for the six-seat tables by multiplying the number of six-seat tables by 6: 6 chairs/table * 12 tables = 
<gadget id="calculator">6*12</gadget>
<output>72</output>
72 chairs.
Now add the number of chairs for the four- and six-seat tables to find the total number of chairs Jackson needs: 24 chairs + 72 chairs = 
<gadget id="calculator">24+72</gadget>
