Question

Aditya wants to purchase few chairs and tables. When asked, he was told, one chair costs 250 and one table costs 475. The number of chairs he needs is three times the number of tables. Find the number of chairs and tables he purchased if the total money spent for it is 3675.

Answer 1

Answer:

number of chairs are 9 and tables are 3

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of tables need is X

we know that number of chair needed is 3 times the no. of tables

so let the no. of chairs= 3X

total cost of 3x no. of chairs = (3X)×250

total cost of x no. of tables= X × 475

so, (3X × 250)+(X × 475)= 3675 (given)

750X + 475X= 3675

1225 X = 3675

X =3675/1225

X= 3

the number of tables needed is 3

so the no. of chair needed is,

3X = 3×3

= 9
