Question

8) A horse and a cart together cost
1800. If the cost of the cart was
one-third of the horse, what did the
horse cost?​

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of horse =x=1350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of horse=x

the cost of cart=1/3*x=x/3

x+x/3=1800

3x/3+x/3=1800

4x/3=1800

4x=1800*3

4x=5400

x=5400/4

x=1350
