​

Answer 1

Answer:

Price of the chair = Rs.175

Price of the desk = Rs.196

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of the chair = Rs.x

Then, price of the desk = x+12% of x

                                       = x+12×x/100

                                       = x+3x/25

                                       = (25x+3x)/25

                                       = Rs.28x/25

Now,

Price of desk+Price of chair = Rs.371

28x/25+x = 371

or, (28x+25x)/25 = 371

or, 53x = 9275

∴ x = 175

∴ Price of the chair = x = Rs.175

∴ Price of the desk = 28x/25

                                = 28×175/25

                                = Rs.196

I hope it helps you.
