Question

the total cost of 24 chairs is ₹9255.60.find the cost of each chair?

Answer 1

Let tables and chairs are x and y respectively.

Given that two tables and three chairs together cost Rs 2000 i.e

2x + 3y = 2000 ----------(1)

And three tables and two chairs together cost Rs 2500 i.e

3x + 2y = 2500 -----------(2)

Solving (1) and (2) we get

x = 700 and y = 200.

Therefore , cost of one table = 700 and Cost of one chair = 200

Hence the total cost of one table and five chairs is = 1x 700 + 5 x 200 = 1700 Rs.

Answer 2

24 chairs = 9255.60 rs
so 1 chair = 9255.60/24
= 385.65rs
