Question

The total cost of 3 tables and 2 chairs 1850.if table cost 75 more than chair. Find price of each

Answer 1

Let the cost of chair be x
cost of table be x +75
a/q
3(x +75) + 2x = 1850
3x + 225 + 2x = 1850
5x = 1850-225
5x = 1625
x = 1625÷5 = 325

therefore
cost of chair = 325
cost of table = 325+75
= 400

Answer 2

Let the cost of tables be x
Let the cost of chairs be y
Then,
3x+2y=1850
If x = 75 + y
Then,
3x+2y=1850
3(75+y)+2y=1850
225+3y+2y=1850
225+5y=1850
5y=1850-225
5y=1625
y=1625/5
y=325
Then,
x= 75+y
x=75+325
x=400
The cost of 1 chair is 325 Rs
The cost of 1 table is 400 Rs
