Question

Renu bought new bag and chappal he paid 1270 rupees the price of bag is 430 rupees more than the price of chappals calculate price of each do this problem using algebra X and Y7​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the price of the bag be x and price of chappal be y.

Total cost is 1270, meaning

x + y = 1270

Given,

Price of bag is 430 rupees more than chappal, meaning y = x - 430.

Hence,

$x+y = x +x-430=1270$

$2x-430=1270$

$2x=1270+430=1700$

$x=\frac{1700}{2}=850$

Therefore,

$y=x-430=850-430=420$

Answer: Price of bag = Rs 850, price of chappal = Rs 420
