Question

A horse and cart together costs rs.1600. If the cost of cart is one third of horse what did horse cost ?

Answer 1

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of horse = x

Cost of cart is one third of horse

Cost of cart = (x/3)

Given,

House and cart together = 1600.

=> x + x/3 = 1600

=> 4x/3 = 1600

=> 4x = 4800

=> x = 1200

Thus,

Cost of horse = 1200
