Question

cost of a table is rupee 21 more than the cost of the chair if the cost of a table and chair is Rs371 find the cost price of each​

Answer 1

Let, cost of chair be x
So, cost of table = x+21

Accordingly,
x+x+21 = 371
or, 2x + 21 = 371
or, 2x = 371-21
or, 2x = 350
or, x = 350/2
or, x = 175

Therefore, the cost of chair = 175
the cost of table = 175+21
= 196

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, cost of chair be x

And cost of table = x+21

ATQ,

x+x+21 = 371

or, 2x + 21 = 371

or, 2x = 371-21

or, 2x = 350

or, x = 350/2

or, x = 175

Therefore, the cost of chair = 175

the cost of table = 175+21

                               = 196
