Question

The total cost of 3 tables and 2 chairs is Rs 745. If one table costs Rs 40 more than

one chair, find the price of each. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

this is the ans...

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of chair be x

so the cost of table is x+40

By the condition given in the question

3 (x+40)+2x=745

3x+120+2x=745

5x=625

x=125

x+40=165

so the cost of chair is Rs 125 and the cost of table is Rs 165

Answer 2

Let cost of a chair be x, then cost of table will be 40+x. 

It is given that,

3(40+x)+2x=745

⇒120+5x=745

⇒x=5745−120=5625=125 =  cost of chair,

Hence, cost of table  =40+x=40+125 =165.
