Question

a horse and a cart together costs 1600. If the cost of the cart is one-third the cost of the horse , find the cost of the cart and horse seperately.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of horse = Rs.1200

Cost of cart = Rs.400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of horse be x

Cost of horse + Cost of cart = Rs.1600

Cost of horse = x

Cost of cart = x/3

x+x/3 = 1600

4x/3   = 1600

      x = 1600*3/4

      x = 1200

Cost of horse = x = Rs.1200

Cost of cart = x/3 = 1200/3 = Rs.400
