Question

the table cost rupees 200 more than a chair the price of a tables and 3 chairs is rupees 1400 find the cost of each

Answer 1

let the cost of chair be x
the cost of table be x +200
x+200+3x =1400
4x=1200
x=1200/4=300
therefore the cost of chair will be 300
and cost of table will be 300+200=500

Answer 2

x+200=cost of table
there are three chairs so 3x
total price=1400
x+200+3x = 1400
4x = 1400-200
4x = 1200
x = 300
cost of table is 300+200 = 500
300 ,500 is answer
