Question

a book and a bag cost 300. If the bad cost twice times the book. what is the cost of the bag?

Answer 1

Answer: $200

Step-by-step explanation:

Book = $100

= 100 x 2

= 200

Answer 2

Create an equation.

Let the cost of the book be = x

Then, the cost of the bag = 2x

They, together cost 300.

Hence, we have an equation.

=> x + 2x = 300

=> 3x = 300

=> x = 300/3 = 100

Now, since x = 100

2x will be=> 2x or 2 times x => 2×100=> 200

Hence the book is 100 Rs. The bag is 200 Rs.
