Question

A table costs 200 more than a chair. The price of two tables and three chairs is
"1,400. Find the cost of each.
​

Answer 1

chair = 400

table = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of one table = 200

cost of two table = 200+200 = 400

cost of chair = 1400 - 400 = 1000

Answer 2

Let the cost of a chair be Rs.'x' Then, the cost of a table=x+200. Therefore,x+200+x+200+x+x+x=1400. 5x+400=1400. 5x=1400-400. 5x=1000. x=1000÷5. x=200 Hence,the cost of a chair is Rs.200 and the cost of a table is Rs.(200+200)=400
