Four families each brought the same number of chairs to a block party. three more chairs are needed to seat all 27 people how many chairs did each family bring?

Hi! :)

This question states that four families each brought the same number of chairs. We know that 27 chairs are needed overall and 3 are still needed after the four families' contributions. 

Knowing this, you can figure out that you could do 27-3. This equals 24, so you would then just divide 24 by 4, since there are 4 families. 

Your final answer should be that each family brought 6 chairs. 

Hope this helps!
