Answer 1

let price of table be 4x and of chair be x. cost of 2 table becomes 8x (2*4x) and 8 chairs will be 8x (8*1x). given 8x + 8x = 400. solving it, x will be 25. so table = 4x = 100. and price of chair is x = 25.

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost of a table is 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices of a table and a chair are in the ratio 4:1. Let the price of a table be 4x and the price of a chair be x.

The cost of 2 tables and 8 chairs is Rs 400.

$2\times 4x+8\times x=400$

$8x+8x=400$

$16x=400$

$x=25$

The value of x is 25.

The cost of a table is

$4x=4\times 25=100$

Therefore the cost of a table is 100.
