Question

a chair and a table together cost 100 Rs if chair costs Rs. 16 less than table find the cost of table​

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y= 100 if x = 16 then 16+y=100 ,y=100-16 ,y= 84

Answer 2

The cost of table​ is Rs. 58

Given:

Cost of chair and a table together = Rs. 100

Cost of chair is Rs. 16 less than cost of table

To find:

The cost of table

Answer:

Let the cost of the chair be Rs. x and the cost of the table be Rs. y.

x + y = 100   -(1)

x + 16 = y   -(2)

⇒x = y - 16  -(3)

Substituting equation 3 in equation 1 gives

y - 16 +y = 100

⇒2y = 116

⇒y = 58
