Question

the price of two tables and chairs is Rs 5400 but a table cost rupees 700 more than a chair find the price of each

Answer 1

price of chair=2350
price of tables=3050

Answer 2

2 tables and 3 chairs = Rs5400 (Given)

-

Make the cost of the table the same price as the chair:

[We take away 1400 from the total, so the price of a table and a chair are the same]

A table costs 700 rupees more.

700 x 2 = 1400

5400 - 1400 = 4000

-

Find the price of a chair:

4000 ÷ 5 = 800

A chair costs Rs 800

-

Find the cost of a table:

[A table costs Rs 700 more than a chair, so we add Rs 700 to the price of chair]

800 + 700 = 1500

A table costs Rs 1500

-

Answer: Chair = Rs 800, Table = Rs 1500
