Question

The cost of bag is rupees 15 less than that of the compass . If the total cost of three bags and two compass is rupees 180 find the cost of 1 bag and 1 compass

Answer 1

let the cost of compass be x

cost of bag=x-15.

ATQ

3(x-15)+2x=180

3x-45 + 2x=180

5x -45=180

5x=180+45

5x=225

x=45..

therefore cost of compass is 45 and cost of bag be 30..
