Answer:
A is 1275 and B is 1500
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of A be Rs x and of B be Rs y.
Given that the total cost =2775 Rs
⇒x+y=2775 --- (1)
Also, cost of an article A is 15% less than that of article B
⇒x=y−0.15y⇒x=0.85y --- (2)
From (1) and (2), we get
0.85y+y=2775
1.85y=2775
⇒y=1500
And, x=0.85y=1275
Hence, cost of A is Rs 1275 and of B is Rs 1500.
