Question

The Price of a Bag and an umbrella is rupees 500.the cost of the bag is rupees 150 more than that of the umbrella .find the cost of each one.Explain the answer in the algebraic expression​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the cost of umbrella be x.

Cost of bag = x+150

According to Question,

x+x+150 = 500

=> 2x = 500-150

=> 2x = 350

=> x = 175

Hence, cost of umbrella = Rs.175

Cost of bag = Rs.(175+150) = Rs.325

Answer 2

Answer:

let the cost of the umbrella is x Rs

so the cost of the bag is (x+150)Rs

according to question,

x+(x+150)=500

x+x+150=500

2x=500-150

2x=350

x=350/2=175

so the cost of the umbrella is 175 Rs

and the cost of the bag is (175+150)Rs=325Rs
