The number of toys made by Mr Samad was 115. But on working backwards, the number of toys sold on Wednesday is in decimals! Will leave this question for others to solve.

Q1 cannot be solved unless it is stated that the large table must also form a square. If that is the case, it will be formed by 6 x 6 small tables. Number of chairs needed will be 6 x 4 = 24.

Q2 is to put 1 dot at reach corner of a hexagon (6-sided polygon) with 1 dot in the centre.

There are different arrangments that will give different number of chairs.
1 x 36 =>74 chairs
2 x 18 => 40 chairs
3 x 12 => 30 chairs
4 x 9 => 26 chairs
6 x 6 => 24 chairs

There is no single answer unless u make an assumption like the one atutor2001 had stated.

In case u need the wrking :

Y x 80% = 0.8Y
(0.8y - 27) X 90% = 0.72Y - 24.3
0.72 Y - 24.3 = 0.5Y + 1
0.72Y = 0.5Y + 25.3
0.22Y ----- 25.3
Y = 115
They hvnot asked on WEdnesday.so, leave it.But as VC mentioned, it'll b in decimals.
