Answer 1

Answer:

c) The required representation of the given situation is 4  m + 3  > 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume, the owner plans to have m tables.

Each table can seat 4 people.

⇒The number of people seated in m tables = m times 4  = 4 m

Also, the additional number of people seated ta chef's table = 3

So, Total seated people in the restaurant

= People seated at m tables + People seated at chef's  table

= 4  m + 3

Now, the seating arrangement  is for more than 75 people.

⇒  4  m + 3  > 75

Hence, the required representation of the given situation is 4  m + 3  > 75
