Question

a table cost ₹ 40 more than the chair . the total cost of 3 tables and 2 chairs is ₹ 745 .find the cost of each​

Answer 1

Answer:

the cost of a chair is ₹ 125

the cost of a table is ₹ 165

Step-by-step explanation:

a table cost ₹ 40 more than the chair

let, the cost of a chair be ₹x

the cost of a table be ₹y

therefore,

y = 40 + x

the total cost of 3 tables and 2 chairs is

3y + 2x

= 3(40 + x) + 2x

= 120 + 5x

By the question,

120 + 5x =  745

5x = 625

x = 125

or, y = 40 + 125

       = 165

thus,

the cost of a chair is ₹ 125

the cost of a table is ₹ 165
