In a conference room, 40 chairs with a capacity of 2 people each were arranged in rows in preparation for the board meeting of a company, whose number of members was the same as the chairs' capacity. If 2/5 of the chairs were not occupied, and the rest each had two people, calculate the number of board members who did attend the meeting.
How many people can the 40 chairs hold? ** The total capacity of the 40 chairs was 40*2=<<40*2=80>>80 people.
How many people missed the board meeting? ** If 2/5 of the chairs were unoccupied, 2/5*80=<<2/5*80=32>>32 people missed the board meeting since the number of members was the same as the chair's capacity.
How many board members attended the meeting? ** The number of board members who attended the meeting was 80-32=<<80-32=48>>48
