Question

Geeta bought 3 new skirts at a department store. The price of each skirt was the same. After the cashier deducted 1500 for a discount coupon, her total bill was 4500. What was the original price of each skirt ?

Answer 1

Answer:

3k + 2w = 1575

2k + 3w = 1800

=> k = 225 and w = 450

Cost of 5 skirts and 4 sweaters = 5*225 + 4*450 = 1125 + 1800 = 2,925

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let cost of each skirt be x

cost of 3 skirts is 3x

total bill after discount is 4500

discount money is 1500

3x-1500=4500

3x=4500+1500

3x=6000

x=6000/3

x=2000 {price of each skirt is same}

•°•The price of each skirt is 2000
