A school received two orders of new chairs, the first order contained 180 chairs, the second order contained 204 chairs. Each of the 17 classrooms received the same number of chairs. How many chairs will be put in storage as extra chairs (1 point)
A:10
B:17
C:22
D:44
To find out how many chairs will be put in storage as extra, we need to find the total number of chairs in the two orders and then subtract the number of chairs needed for the 17 classrooms.
The total number of chairs from the first order is 180.
The total number of chairs from the second order is 204.
Therefore, the total number of chairs in the two orders is 180 + 204 = 384.
Since each classroom receives the same number of chairs, we need to divide the total number of chairs by the number of classrooms, which is 17.
384 ÷ 17 = 22 remainder 10.
Therefore, there will be 10 chairs left in storage as extra.
The answer is A:10.
