Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of table is 880rs

Step-by-step explanation:

therefore

let x will be value of table

5:8 = 550 : x

5x = 8×550

5x= 4400

x= 4400÷5

x= 880

therefore Ans is Rs 880

Answer 2

Answer:

₹880

Step-by-step explanation:

We will assume the cost of table as x

therefore, according to the question:

550÷x=5÷8 (as 5:8 can be taken as 5÷8)

so by cross multiplying we get :

5x=4400

x=880

Therefore, the cost of the table is ₹880.

*(we can check the answer by:

550÷880

=55÷88

=5÷8

=5:8)
