Answer 2

• The cost of a bottle = 125

• The cost of a cork = 25

Given :

• Bottle and a cork together cost 150

• The bottle cost 100 more than the cork

To find :

The cost of bottle and cork

Solution :

Step 1 of 2 :

Form the equation to find the cost of bottle and cork

Here it is given that Bottle and a cork together cost 150

The bottle cost 100 more than the cork

Let cost of a cork = x

Then cost of a bottle = x + 100

By the given condition

$\displaystyle \sf x + (x + 100) = 150$

Step 2 of 2 :

Calculate the cost of bottle and cork

$\displaystyle \sf x + (x + 100) = 150$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies }2x + 100 = 150$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies }2x = 150 - 100$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies }2x = 50$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies }x = \frac{50}{2}$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies }x = 25$

The cost of a cork = x = 25

The cost of a bottle

= x + 100

= 25 + 100

= 125
