Question

a man spends rs.500 in buying 12 tables and chairs .the cost of one table is rs.50 and that of one chair is rs.40 what is the ratio of the number of the chairs and tables purchased ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

50T + 40C = 500

T + C = 12

C = 10, T = 2

Ratio of the number of chairs and tables = 5 : 1

Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{aqua}{lime}{answer☆}}$

Let x = no.

Of tables and y = no.

Of chairs here,

12 tables and chairs were bought.

So, x+y = 12

...(1) and cost of 1 table is 50

so cost of x tables is 50x similarily cost of y chairs is 40y hence,

50x + 40y = 500 ...

(2) solving both the equations

we get, x = 2 and y = 10 hence 2:10 = 1:5
