Question

If the cost of 5 tables exceeds the cost of eight chairs by Rs. 150. Write the linear equation in two variables to represent the statement. Also find the cost of 1 table if the cost of one chair is RS. 240

Answer 1

Answer:

5 chairs -  8 tables = 150

384

Step-by-step explanation:

8 chairs +150 = 5 tables

5 chairs - 8 tables = 150

1 chair = 240 Rs

8 X 240 + 150 = 5 tables

1920 = 5 tables

1920/5 = 1 table

1 table = 384

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the cost of 1 table  =Rs $x$

Let the cost of 1 chair = Rs $y$

cost of 5 tables = Rs 5$x$

cost of 8 chairs = Rs 8$y$

According to question,

5 $x$− 8$y$ = 150  

Put $y$  = 240, we get

5$x$ − 8 × 240  = 150

⇒5$x$= 150 + 1920 = 2070

⇒ $x$= 414

So, cost of 1 table  = Rs 414
