B). 18 chairs at most. Can fit in each row. 

650 - 176 = 474

474 / 25 = 18.96

You cannot round in the situation because you can't have 18.96 of a chair. It's either whole or it's not going to be built.

Answer:

A)18

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of chairs in the school gym can be represented by inequality 176 + 25c ≤ 650, where c represents the number of chairs in each row. When you solved for c, we find that c = 18.96. Since you cannot have a fraction of a chair, we know that the maximum number of chairs in each row must be 18.

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
