Question

The cost of a chair and table is 1500 rupees. The cost of the table is 4 times the cost of the chair. Find the expense of each​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take cost of the chair as a

and cost of the table as b

So,

a+b= 1500 -------(I)

it's given that cost of the table is 4 times that of the chair

So,

b= 4a --------(ii)

From (I) and (ii) we get

a + 4a =1500

=> 5a= 1500

=> a= 1500÷5

Therefore, a= 300 or cost of a chair is 300

Therefore, a= 300 or cost of a chair is 300 b= 4a = 4x300= 1200

so, cost of the table is 1200
