    The caterer used 40 small square tables to make a long rectangular table for Alyssa's birthday party. Each small table seats one person on each side, so with 40 tables there are 80 people seated (40 tables x 2 sides per table). Additionally, there is one person who can sit at each end of the long table, so 80 people + 2 end seats equals a total of 82 people who can be seated at the long table.

    During a birthday party of Alyssa, the caterer, uses 40 small square tables to make a long
    rectangular table. If each small table can seat only one person on a side, how many people can
    be seated at the long table?
    The answer is 82.
    SOLUTIONS:
    Provided that there are 40 small square tables and 1 person able to seat on opposite sides.
    With that information we can come up with 1 = 2. So, if there 40 tables, there are 80 people
    because of 40 x 2 = 80. And since it is a table, there is 1 person per end of the table which
    makes it 2 people. Therefore, 80 + 2 = 82.
    The formula of the perimeter may also be used. The formula is P=2L + 2W. Substituting with the
    info of a table, we can use P=2(40) + 2(1). 40 is substituted for L since there are 40 tables and 1
    is substituted for W.
    To calculate:
    P=2(40) + 2(1)
    P= 80 + 2
    P = 82
