Question

. The cost of 2 purses and 5 slippers is ₨. 2300. If a purse costs ₨. 30 more than a slipper, find the price of each.

Answer 1

Let the price of 1 slipper be ₹x and price of 1 purse be ₹(x+3)

B/Q

2×(x+3) +5×x=₹2,300

2x+6+5x=₹2300

7x+6=₹2300

7x=₹(2300-6)

7x=₹2294

x=₹2294÷7

x=₹327.71

Therefore price of 1 slipper=₹327.71

Price of 1 purse=₹357.71
