Question

The cost of two tables and three chairs is Rs. 7050. If the table cost Rs. 40 more than the chair, find the cost of the table and the chair.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

two tables + three chair = ₹705

table cost = ₹40 more than chair

let the cost of a chair be x

a table cost = x + 40

so, 2 (x + 40) + 3x = 705

2x + 80 + 3x = 705

5x + 80 =705

5x = 705 - 80

5x = 625

x = 625/5

x = 125

cost of table = 125 + 40 = ₹165

cost of chair = ₹125

Answer 2

Answer:

cost of chair is 1742.5

cost of table is 1782.5
